Yippee... the meeting seems to have gone well!!!! As always, I was a nervous wreck but I think attendees found the session quite useful. (feedback would be much appreciated)
We started off at 12:30pm with lunch which was quite important in getting us all started.
Phil Cheeseman then kicked off the main business of the day with an introduction to what the project was about and this was followed by a presentation about the CAMEL Approach and why we chose to use this methodology to research and develop the toolkit that we aim to make available to all staff.
Tessa Willy then facilitated a discussion that allowed staff to get to know one another and find out about technologies staff have used and also allow staff to put forward ideas on what technologies they would like to use. Staff shared a range of ideas which were very useful from using social bookmarking tools, Audience Response systems, to creating online diaries and social spaces.
The session then moved onto a discussion about barriers that are experienced by many users when tying to use various technologies. Things like hardware problems, too much technology out there, not knowing when to apply what, fear of things going wrong were identified as some of the major things that put staff off using some technologies.
All in all I think it was a very informative session and a good start to the project as a whole.
If you missed out on attending this session you can watch the video clips on the Project Documents page of the wiki as we captured most of the proceedings on the cool flip cameras we have in the Green Room.
