Elements for Investigation
We clarified the list of elements for investigation and discussed using matrices (a draft of these linked from the blog from Cindi) and graphical representation of the measures—similar to the Consumer Reports ratings.
A few points…
Cost: could be people, time, funding, ongoing vs start up, costs to participants vs costs to providers, etc… Also costs will be varied depending on the software/equipment and what infrastructure already exists with the providers. Additionally, costs could be mitigating by shared costs and shared networks.
Interaction: interacting with a computer or equipment—example: responding to questions or controlling the speed of the presentation.
Touch: interacting with people
After clarifying the list of delivery methods (listed below), we divided up the options, and agreed to each start an individual post on each option. These individual posts will discuss the following:
1. Brief description of the category including examples
2. System, software, and hardware requirements for presenter (includes a general idea of cost)
3. System, software, and hardware requirements for participants (includes a general idea of cost)
4. Advantages and disadvantages
5. Number of people that can be served
However, we shouldn’t do a lot of research at this point, but rather detail what we each know about our delivery method. Then, the group as a whole can fill in the gaps by editing each others’ posts and adding comments. After we’ve all contributed, we will identify areas that need additional research, and we’ll work on a graphical representation (using the matrices, the Consumer Reports-like rating, or both).
Select Elements for further research and description
Options and responsibilities below…we’ll each post our delivery mode to the blog, and develop our descriptions from there. These should be posted by August 12.
Next steps
We changed the meeting to August 16 from 2 – 4 p.m. Next time, we’ll use Click to Meet. Cindi will reserve a Click to Meet room and send instructions.
Jane will let Whitney know about the next meeting, and ask if she might want to either take one of the delivery modes to draft a description or act as a general editor since she has expertise in a number of delivery mode areas.
Once we’re ready to draft the final report, we’ll provide a paper executive summary, but refer people to an online Web-based final report.
Erica will send instructions to edit posts—not just post to a blog. Erica will also send information on joining OPAL.
