After the second IM, I beat a hasty exit, and then returned later on having logged out and in, hoping to have fixed the problem. Apologies to those Participants who were affected by the bug if the wild flailing distracted!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173723209170577418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812407467138247259.post-51724657882006701762007-06-20T02:19:00.000-07:002007-06-20T02:19:00.000-07:00I didn't think it was a disaster.

A f2f discussion would have been equally challenging as there was no evident structure or objective (unlike the JISC session). Giving it a title like "Where do we go from here?" would have been good. The differences David mentions might be due in part to people warming up though I did cancel one or two comments as the discussion seemed to shift ground. Not knowing who was a newbie and who was speaking from experience made evaluation a little difficult. I think idea of using Web 2.0 tools, e.g. Diigo, to expand on the transcript would be worth considering (though comments are OK too).Peter Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811527782413146351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812407467138247259.post-5897450763911764632007-06-20T00:11:00.000-07:002007-06-20T00:11:00.000-07:00Hello Art, thanks again for the get-together yeste...Hello Art, thanks again for the get-together yesterday.<BR/><BR/>I have worked out some stats which might interest you. <BR/><BR/>Dividing the event into 'controlled' and 'uncontrolled' sections and ignoring the intro' stuff (which latecomers (like me) couldn't catch up on) here are the numbers:<BR/><BR/>Controlled bit:<BR/><BR/>19 minutes duration<BR/>8 participants<BR/>37 contributions<BR/>611 words typed<BR/>16.51 average words per contribution<BR/>1.87 seconds per word<BR/><BR/><BR/>Uncontrolled bit:<BR/><BR/>65 minutes<BR/>25 participants<BR/>447 contributions<BR/>4895 words typed<BR/>10.95 average words per contribution<BR/>0.8 seconds per wordDavid Tebbutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03971631003702096148noreply@blogger.com
