The course site template is complete and awaiting final feedback and approval. In case you’re wondering, the template contains the graphics and coding that combines to create the course look and feel.

It also contains any common materials (help files, etc.) that will appear in all program courses. Having it all in a single template saves time and $$ in the long run as I won’t have to reupload and recopy these files as new courses need to be developed.

The course introduction and first module are complete (draft) and will soon be heading off to the SMEs and department managers for approval and sign off. I’m actually on-track with my original estimate and pretty damn proud of myself.

Have I mentioned I think they look damn spiffy too?

Granted, I’d never have managed the other two courses in the timeline requested. Somewhere an angel was looking out for me to ensure I didn’t burn out.

While I’m on the topic of small miracles, my former boss (what a wonderful lady she is) forwarded a copy of an email to me today. Apparently the project I was working on when I left my former employer is ready to launch and the traditional pat on the back email was sent out to everyone in the department (world-wide). One of the women I worked with in India who was responsible for a giant chunk of the project responded to the project manager’s original email specifically mentioning me and all my crazy hours and dedication to the cause. It’s nice to know I haven’t been forgotten and was appreciated – even if I did leave on a bit of a sour note at the end…
