NOTE: TUTORIAL VIDEOS WILL NO LONGER BE POSTED HERE. THEY WILL NOW BE ACCESSED VIA THE "WATCH TUTORIAL VIDEOS" LINK, ACCESSED FROM THE CLASS WEBSITE. BELOW. TO ACCESS VIDEOS SIGNUP AND CONTACT ME VIA WHATS APP
Quick recap
Brian conducted a temperature check on students' progress with their individual projects and introduced a new video tutorial system. Students reported various issues, including terrain elevation problems in Revit that Brian helped troubleshoot, and some students had difficulty accessing the new video system due to missing logins or incomplete registrations. Brian explained that students would now use the "watch tutorial videos" section instead of class recordings, with video access tailored to their current progress level. The class discussed project submission requirements, with Brian clarifying that students must submit their current work to progress to the next project phase.
Next steps
All students: Complete the poll indicating their current progress step in the individual project (for those who have not yet responded).
Brian: Send out the poll (or re-send as needed) to ensure all students indicate their current progress step.
Brian: Align and assign video tutorials for each student based on their reported progress step in the poll.
Students who have not yet registered or logged in to the new tutorial video system: Register/log in via the class website under "watch tutorial videos" so Brian can assign appropriate videos.
Students: Notify classmates (especially those not present or not yet registered, e.g. Leonardo) via WhatsApp or other means to register/log in to the new video system to ensure access to assigned tutorials.
McKayla: Request exception/access for the "Creating room labels" video (or relevant video) if access is restricted, and refresh to access content.
Brian: Upload and prioritize remaining tutorial videos (e.g., for step 3 and other early steps) to the new system for student access.
Leonardo: Register/log in to the new tutorial video system and request exception for step 3 as needed.
All students: Continue working on the major (final) project and aim to submit as much progress as possible before the due date (next Saturday).
Brian: Record and upload the final part of the tutorial videos by Monday (for the final project).
All students: Begin the collaborative project on the Monday after the holiday (as announced by Brian).
Summary
Project Progress and Tutorial Transition
Brian conducted a temperature check on individual project progress and announced a transition to a new video tutorial system. He explained that students would no longer use class recordings but would instead access personalized video tutorials based on their current progress stage through a poll he would distribute. The discussion included troubleshooting terrain elevation issues in Revit, where Brian helped Jenalee resolve problems with points being placed too high due to incorrect elevation base settings. Brian emphasized that all project work must be submitted by next week to progress to the next project, and he would update tutorial access for each student based on their poll responses.
Rivet UI Layout Discussion
Brian discussed issues with the user interface layout in Rivet, noting that the three rows appeared disconnected and suggested reorganizing them for better clarity. He clarified the functionality of different modes related to surface and elevation settings. Brian then checked participants' progress in their assignments, confirming with Nicole that she was working on the first step and adjusting video access accordingly. He emphasized the importance of participants being in the WhatsApp group to receive necessary videos for their progress and instructed them to ensure their progress logins were set up.
Course Tutorial Access Discussion
Brian led a discussion about accessing and completing tutorial videos for a course. McKayla reported issues with accessing videos and received guidance on requesting exceptions for specific content. Brian addressed missing student names in the system and instructed classmates to inform absent peers to register on the website for video access. The class was informed that the next meeting would be on the following Monday after the holiday, with a focus on the collaborative project.
