Inquiry into Action

On Tuesday, as RING groups, we’ll be exploring information and communication technologies that can enhance collaboration.  As the RING groups will not always be all physically in the same place at the same time, each group will  have to co-ordinate complex information and communication logistics, plan and compose collaboratively, and reach consensus without constant  f2f contact.  If you add the capacities we shall be discussing to those that you are already using as individuals and as groups, you should be able to build a vibrant community well-equipped to complete exemplary research.

We shall be meeting in two groups in the main NCC computer lab. (not the classroom at the back).  You should make sure that you are familiar with both the RING-Project-Worksheet (latest version) and the RING group management plan prior to the RING meetings tomorrow.

Important: If you have a laptop we should be very grateful if you would bring it to the session in the NCC lab. as we shall need additional computers for these sessions.
