Tutorial Planning - Stats

• Core tutorials on HL7 Standards, and have specialized tutorials alternated between WGM
• Start with the January WGM tutorials
• Rene Spronk has some draft stats on Education events that will be discussed in Chicago
• Continue discussion of stats that would be useful
• Education Offering Dashboard
• This was an action item allocated to me during the WGM in Chicago. The usefulness of the various metrics probably merits additional discussion. Once there is agreement on a 'starter set of metrics' we'll have to create a mechanism to actually get hold of them.
• Rene has created the statistics wiki page
• Number that Rene has on the wiki is not consistent to the actual numbers
• Focus on HL7 HQ stats first and quality measures.
• Location included in the statistic as may impact attendance/participation
• February 18, 2015: No update
• March 18, 2015: No update

Learning Partners Proposal

• The motion from the Education WG to the Executive Committee RE Learning Partners Program failed. Most EC members found several issues with the proposal. They suggested that if the committee wishes to bring it back that the advantages to HL7 must be more clearly identified.
• Based on discussion in Paris, next step is to raise with International Council to determine if there is an interest in pursuing.

Student Internship Project (Tom Maroon)

• Tom reached out to see if Education would pilot the project - Melva had a discussion that Education isn't in a position to pilot as we don't work in this space as a group
• Melva invited Tom to join an Education call
• Leave this on the agenda for next call

Policies and Processes
