Back to Collaboration Tools and Methods

First task is to set up the channels for communication and information exchange.


Tools/Methods

  • Meetings/Telecons/Video chat – the ESIP AQ group meets every other week with telecon where people share ideas
    • Telecon/web meeting – GEO Pilot used this method. allows displaying the workspace and facilitates the group learning how to use the space.
  • List-serv allows people to subscribe and have a 1-many conversation
  • One improvement that we have added is the ability to record and share artifacts.
    • Collaborative Workspace (canvas to add additional related content and provide context)
      • Identifies the people that are interested in participating
      • Gives a place for capturing ideas, artifacts
        • Telecon notes,
        • Presentations
        • Projects that the group has done
        • pulls together the resources that the group has already created: papers, presentations, collaborative activities already occurring, discussion from e-mail to web
      • Needs: a curator – someone that is willing to transfer material and encourage the group to use the space.

Great thing about the workspace is it’s flexible. Downside is it’s flexible.

  • To keep track of content:
    • For different artifacts we have different templates
      • Presentations,
      • Datasets
      • Tasks
    • We use tags in these templates so that we can create lists automatically and reuse the lists in multiple places.
