Activity 2 Summary: About the Activity
Following the storyboard activity, The second group activity had particiants working with colleagues in similar disciplines. Use the menus to browse their responses to the three key questions.
Group Activity 2- Pachyderm in My Discipline (30 minutes)
In larger groups by academic discipline, you will be brainstorming how the kinds of Pachyderm screens seen today could be used in specific course content areas. You will also be asked what can you do in the next few months to develop these ideas and to identify/collect the digital assets needed.
- Find your Discipline or Work Group (see map on flip chart easel)
- Assign one person as the "recorder"
- Answer the questions that are written on the flip charts:
- List 3 or more specific ideas of content from your discipline that could be put into any of the Pachyderm templates. What can the Pachyderm software do for this content that you are not able to do now?
- If you were to have access to the Pachyderm software in a few months, what can you do between now and then to develop your concepts and identify/collect the needed digital assets?
- What other questions/concerns do you have about the Pachyderm software?
