Progress
Report
Analytics – Patrick has
completed redesign of Analytics (emailed Aug10). Now students can
print it out with the look and feel of a report, not a web page
printout.
Standards
& Guidelines (S&Gs) distribution – We have leveraged
on Sylvie di Giusto's "Image Consultant Expert Group" to
help distribute S&Gs. Result: over 20 downloads.
Self-Test tool – defining it
as diagnostic tool, not an educational tool. Focus on helping
multinationals (MNCs) in setting up different campaigns in-house.
Action: Patrick will make educational video.
Testing centres – we have
partnering centres in Vancouver, Toronto, Seattle, Atlanta,
Sacramento, San Jose, New York. Also building 2 centres in
Malaysia!
Patrick reported that at these testing centres there is no required minimum number of test takers at a sitting.
Based on this new information,
directors agreed to reverse previous decision to require a minimum number of test takers at a sitting.
Test taker minimums / maximums will be based on testing site requirements.
MOOC (Massive
Open Online Courses) – we are invited by Udemy to apply for
their "Social
Innovation Grant".
Draft proposal being worked on by Riet, Lynne, Patrick.
Directors agreed that the timing is not good for this initiative, as it will cause us to loose focus on from priorities.
Riet suggested slide share might be an alternative to MOOC through Udemy.
It was agreed that a sub-committee would be formed to look into using slide share as a platform to market to corporate / end users.
Patrick & Riet to lead Lynne, Deborah & Kimberly agreed to help.
Action: Patrick & Riet lead Slide Share sub-committee
Continued
tabled discussions:
Finalize Requirements for taking
exam
Should we allow people to challenge the exam or require proof of education?
Directors agreed that test-takers should not be required to have business etiquette training prior to taking the exam, if they choose not to. Anyone who is willing to pay the fee and travel to a testing centre will be allowed to sit for the IITTI Level 1 Exam.
