One current problem in Learn v1 results from an expectation in that entering the url for one of Iowa State's connect resources ( e.g. http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/learn or http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/teammeeting ) thereby "schedules" the resource as well.

This mostly happens with learn and is partially a vocabularly issue where "eXtenson Learn" refers to both the Learn website as well as the "learn" room in connect (some eXtension staff used these interchangeably in Las Vegas).

Jeanne Wiebke at Iowa State has inquired about the possibility that that we send an automated notice to their support address anytime the Learn room (and probably should be extended to other rooms) is used as the location. Or to provide Iowa State specific instructions on the form when Event creators use Iowa State connect as the Location.

In addition, we've talked internally at least once about preventing or at least warning about overlapping schedule times that are placed in the same locations.

What are the best strategies, views, and technological solutions for having Learn provide some assistance in both schedule mitigation/conflict resolution and notification of the various interested parties?
