 * 1. Bacon-Wrapped Lessons?
 * How does this fit with Iowa Learns?
 * Will there be a second database running out there?
 * What is the intended outcome of this product?
 * How are they looking to share?

2. Template for Units, Rubrics for Quality (drafts) 3. Seminar
 * These are steps to evaluate the course itself
 * We would like to offer quality courses
 * One concern is that the standards are covered in the OLLIE courses, how do we refresh ourselves on the Standards?
 * Do we need a quality assurance review of our courses?
 * The objective is not evaluative, but to make improvements to the course
 * This information has not been shared with Drake, she is not evaluative at all
 * There are four pages to the template
 * This is taken directly from what was originally put together by IPTV
 * We did want to create categories that would allow the Instructional Designer to place directly into the course
 * There is an omission of the lesson parts
 * We have to hope that the template will change over time

4. Crisis Response Training
 * Evan would like to create a training on Crisis Response
 * Has been on the forefront since Sandy Hook tradegy
 * There is was group from Homeland Security
 * Documents that were put out to districts
 * Dustin Gean from Heartland was on that group
 * We would like to work with that group to discuss type of information that we need to put out
 * Have not heard back from Mike to set up a meeting
 * What are the needs for this training?
 * What information should be included?
 * Who do we contact?
 * If there is something out there that can be purchased, we would seriously look into purchasing this information.
 * Suggested to include videos
 * Evan will speak with Hans Hansen and Jim Verlengia regarding the training
 * We don't know if what was created was to fulfill a mandate

5. Personalized Learning CoPI, "CoPI" Confusion
 * We have a policy statement that lays out who can participate in CoPI, but there is not an application process to becoming a participant
 * Who in the AEA's are involved
 * If we are going to have space allocated in our Agora to outside participants, it would be approved by the Online Council
 * We would like to create a go to place in Agora for the communities
 * Is there some confusion about CoPI and where do groups fall?
 * AEA PD Online-online professional development
 * AEA K-12-schools to provide online learning
 * When Lisa set this up, she had a class and set up a community
 * The question is can the community be housed and supported by AEA PD Online?
 * If an AEA would like to set up a community, they can do that because we are not the police
 * For visibility sake, we are looking for a way to offer the community through AEA PD Online so that the community can be seen statewide
