Recommendations from Summit V Survey
- Participation in the “new TCN orientation” should be open to anyone interested but not required of every member of a new TCN.
- The orientation session should emphasize the services and resources offered by iDigBio and the various ways participants can get involved without focusing too much on the iDigBio website.
- Provide a glossary of acronyms (e.g., GBIF, IPT) and emphasize to presenters and discussion leaders the importance of avoiding acronyms and jargon and/or defining them.
- Consider a session or presentation that describes the history of the ADBC program and/or the relationships among the various organizations and agencies involved.
- Explore alternative formats for the presentations.
- If there is buy-in from Working Groups or the community, prioritize breakout group/discussion session topics for which clear action plans are feasible and there is likely to be follow-up.
- Align the labels assigned to sessions (e.g., workshop, informational session, break-out) with their goals.
- Ensure the future venues have excellent Internet capabilities and plenty of seating for informal conversations.
- Explore ways to formalize mentoring relationships between older and newer TCNs.
- Explore ways to better market the Summit.
Discussion Topic Ideas
- Data Management
- Education & Outreach
- iDigBio Resources
- Research Tool Development
- Project Management
- Citizen Science
- Sustainability
- Collaboration & Communication
Use-of-Venue Ideas
- Noticed "cool" A/V room set up at TechTown for recording.
- perhaps arrange for video shorts from participants?
- Write-on walls
- think about how best to use these? instructors at ASU workshop enjoyed using these.
- 3-D printing
- the online video tour of TechTown shows 3-D printers. If these are always there, and available for our use, it would be great to have a specimen or three printing out while we are there. And we can highlight the work of grad student Claudia Grant, and others -- to show how these are used for research and in the classroom.
- Are there other tech bits there like SmartBoards?
- Why is this good to know? Would be great to know what tools are available to use in presentations and breakouts
- for the participants and the speakers / instructors.
- Why is this good to know? Would be great to know what tools are available to use in presentations and breakouts
- Tweet team (like it's done at the Entomological Society of America meeting).
- We need several (2 min.) persons whose "job" it is to tweet the exciting, enticing bits of our meeting.
