TITLE >

 

InSITE-Connect: A Model For Dynamic Interdisciplinary Interaction

 

ABSTRACT > 

 

As prominently stated on its homepage, the Informing Science Institute
is "an organization of colleagues helping colleagues ... [that] draw[s]
together people ... who teach, research, and use information
technologies to inform clients ... [and who] share their knowledge with
others," regardless of [their respective] disciplines. 

 

While its meetings and publications provide opportunities to
communicate, current and emerging online technologies have the potential
of facilitating greater collaboration between and among scholars and
their publics, regardless of location, time, or academic focus.

 

In this presentation, we will provide an overview of select online
professional and social networks, and describe the features and
functionalities that can foster more dynamic interaction within the
diverse InSITE communities. The presentation will conclude with a
demonstration of a proposed online professional network

 

A corrected and revised copy of the original PPT as well as a longer
Director's Cut is available from
