SURVEY
Agenda for today was to review the remote proofing survey, determine whether there is overlap with the WCET efforts, then determine next steps for the survey.
The proposed survey does not overlap with the WCET activity, which is focused on assessment testing and authentication at the time of the assessment. That said, the efforts are complementary and Molly from WCET seems very interested in working with us. One area of joint interest would be the case I which the distance education folks use the userID and password as a way to meet their compliance issue. In that case, the way in which IDs are issued would be important to them (and to this group).
There was discussion on the scope of the InC-Student survey. The key is to stick to how permanent credentials are assigned and, possibly, how password resets are accomplished. We would be looking at these categories of students: 1) matriculated students (both distance and on-campus) and 2) methods for password reset (both distance and on-campus).
There was discussion about whether to pose questions about LoA, but the audience for the survey would be AACRAO members and they likely would not know about LoA. It was agreed not to include LoA questions, but perhaps include a statement or question about how comfortable people are with their process for issuing credentials. But the focus needs to be high-level and focused on business processes.
As top distribution, the ideal would be to have it sent from AACRAO in an email personally addressed to the registrar.

NEXT STEPS
(AI) Keith will work with Karen @ Wisconsin on the matriculated students section, then share the draft with Ken for comment.
(AI) Ann will draft the password reset section, then share the draft with Brendan and Mark S. for comment.
DUE DATE FOR DRAFTS - have a draft for next call (May 28). By June 11, have the draft to an appropriate length. By June 18, move the survey to a survey tool and send the notice on June 25.

AACRAO Tech and ITANA
Keith discussed the AACRAO Tech meeting, scheduled for July in Kansas City, and the involvement of the IT Architects working group (ITANA). The concept is to have registrars and IT architects attend the session together. The focus will be on the student lifecycle. Information is at http://www.aacrao.org/tech10/
