ASSIST Collaborative Group Updates ASSIST Articulation Officer Workgroup - Topics of discussion at the last meeting included: The use of placeholder articulation agreements on assist.org. The possibility of using a standard curriculum data update form for data managing users. How users track agreement publication. The use of various system features when managing major articulation agreements. Articulation Modernization Workgroup In January, an additional developer joined the project and the velocity of work completed with a full team has increased. Several development accomplishments related to creating and managing articulation and templates were shared with the group. The developers have focused on completing larger framework structures first, then adding smaller features. At this stage in the project, the basic framework for creating and managing all types of articulation and templates is complete and we are seeing the smaller features, such as drag and drop features, header and label updates, and polishing progress every couple weeks. Work has also continued with regard to the articulation data conversion plan and organization related to articulation officer tasks in alignment with a system transition and training needs. Coming soon: a page on the ASSIST Resource Center dedicated to sharing ongoing project updates. Strategic Plan and Project Timeline - The 2021-2022 ASSIST Strategic Plan deliverables are located on the ASSIST Resource Center website. Also available is the 2021-2022 ASSIST Project Timeline of accomplishments and future milestones. This high-level chronology spans the fiscal year (July 2021 - June 2022) and complements the strategic plan's goals.
