Discussion led by Drs. Mary Hunsicker and Stacy Rebich Hespanha
On Friday, February 28 from 12:15 to 1:30, we’ll be extending our earlier discussion of the environmental ethics of research travel to taking a closer look at virtual meetings and collaboration.
In preparation for the meeting, please check out the following (short) readings:
- http://www.facilitate.com/support/facilitator-toolkit/docs/Six-Critical-Success-Factors-for-Successful-Virtual-Meetings.pdf
- http://www.facilitate.com/support/facilitator-toolkit/docs/6-Ways-to-make-prework-compelling.pdf
- http://www.facilitate.com/support/facilitator-toolkit/docs/Facing-Fears-Virtual-Meetings.pdf
- http://www.facilitate.com/support/facilitator-toolkit/docs/Forbes-Insight-F2F.pdf
Please also come prepared to discuss your perceptions of the obstacles faced by would-be virtual collaborators and your ideas for how some of these barriers could be overcome. We have alloted time for each person to share his/her idea(s) on innovative ways to overcome barriers (2 minutes per idea). We encourage you to prepare 1 powerpoint for each idea and send them to Mary prior to the Roundtable.
