2. Connecting to outside expertise, e.g presenters for
an interest group.
Facilitating the development of interest groups. So
self organized people with same interest can come
together.
Connecting with subject experts.
Profiles with info about member expertise, to make
experts visible.
Facilitation knowledge sharing, so expertise
is exchanged through: Arum, etc...
Agenda building: tools like wiki to create, share or
distribute using dropbox or evernote, blog, etc...
Scheduling: using tools like doodle or mtg wizard or
using institutional calendaring tools like Entourage
or Outlook.
Meeting space: collaborate like tools to capture
knowledge nad communicating that act
How do we participate in Etug beyond
the workshops?
Who is Etug for?
What is the mandate of Etug? Internal
and External?
Is Etug a community of individuals or of
representitives?
Historical strength of Etug, interpersonal
and organizational.
Dynamic come and go nature. Foundation for
it all. Self-defined outcomes of relationships
Multilevel opportunities, open doors,
meaningful connection.
e.g faculty development strategies: tools, leaning
designs, ed tech related research projects
Multi-institutional collaboration on projects that are
relevant to all of our institutions.
1. Identify project need
2. Find Etug partners
3. Share resources to get project done.
3. Picking up on themes from Twitter, workshops, etc...
and bringing people together online.
International audience/participants? - broader base
to draw from.
Tools need to be 'low barrier' (tools for community
discussion e.x Skype?).
Listserv may be useful.
Informality important - 'pub night' once a month?
Arranged by people in each locale.
SCoPE is a good model - can we use for open
ended conversations?
Theme based conversations - you can choose what
interests you.
Publish: copyright issues + relevence (after the
meeting).
Capture: online seminars, workshops, meetings.
Keep building activities, hopefully people that are
interested get involved.
Faculty, many of them don't see themselves as
eTech people.
Make sure there are always means to push and pull.
Different members need different things.
Communication within institutions is difficult. Hard
to get members.
Great to have sessions/workshops recorded and
available afterwards allow people to access when
they can.
Find different ways to get people in, need to find
other pathways.
Need to create a sense of ownership - to feel you
are a member.
Institutional support for participation.
Requirement (incentive) to share what you're doing
(active participant).
Meetings are important for community cultivation.
Tools: Twitter (Facebook like?), Collaborate (space
for real time), Linkedin (professional group). Why or
why not?
So many places to fo - it would need to be compel-
ling. Time is an issue. Someone to create
liaisons/relationships?
An important node in our networks.
Projects/events may be an important way to
cultivate community.
