CTLab:Review
Participants in the CTLab are reflecting on how it went and thinking about what (if anything) we want to do next?
Reflections
As part of KM4Dev’s overall Learning and Monitoring process we have been invited to consider the following questions:
- How was your experience of the CTLab?
- What are the main lessons learned?
- How would you do it differently next time?
What next?
The [CTLab] email group will remain available if members wish to continue using it:
- Would you like to stay part of the CTLab group?
- If so, what would you like this group to do next?
- How could you help?
Responses
(Private Response) Thanks for facilitating / pushing. I did however lost contact halfway. I guess it was a bit too much 'T' for me. I will see messages flying by here and will pick up on request and without such :-)
(Private Response) I think it would be great to have a practical project with deliverable outcomes, where we can all learn together. Since I became chair of the board of Dgroups a few months ago, I've come to learn that there is a lot of demand among the 18 partners of the Dgroups Foundation (www.dgroups.info ) to help people learn techniques of facilitation and moderation of email forums, and the different kinds of ways in which you can use email forums (eg small technical groups; large discussion forums). One possibility is that we could all explore possibilities about whether and how we might collaborate to take this forward as a practical project?
(Private Response) I think the main issue is that I would like to be involved more, but do not have the capacity to keep up with all the emails. I think it is a valuable tool, but it would be good if we could have a phone conference with the entire group once in a while to keep interest up.
(Bev) I wasn't expecting such a directed conversation in the CTLab. So my experience of it was simply different from my expectations. I'm intrigued by the way synchronous conversations (time-delineated telephone conferences or face-to-face meetings) are making a come-back - as a reaction to the email overload syndrome. Maybe the format should be a mix of email discussion and teleconferences?
