Paving Pathways for Collaboration
MIT - Integrated Communications Workshop
The Ford Virtual Design Studio, 9-152, 105 Mass. Ave, Cambridge, MA
Wednesday, February 23, 2005 8:30 - 1:00
Working Agenda
Purpose
This workshop is an initial step in developing a vision for
pervasive, integrated, and multimedia communications in educational,
research and community activity at MIT. Workshop participants will
engage in brainstorming activity about how the MIT community will
communicate in the years 2008 and beyond and how the practices of
education, research, and community could be enhanced by emerging, and
yet to be identified communications technologies. The outcomes of
this workshop will inform the strategic plan for future communications
and collaboration services.
