Guidelines For Conference Evaluations

Read these guidelines carefully -- they explain the criteria I will use to evaluate the

conference and determine your group’s grade.

Conference Organizers will be graded as a team. I will assign a grade that

evaluates the overall conference that you will distribute amongst yourselves with these

objectives in mind:

1. Demonstrate your abilities to work collaboratively.

- communication skills: setting up an online collaborative space.

- team organisation skills: determining necessary tasks and schedualing.

- creating a thematic vision and collaborating to co-ordinate and present

that vision.

- documenting and presenting the results of your collaboration.

Presenting Groups will also be graded as a group with the same primary objective:

1. Demonstrate your abilities to work collaboratively.

- communication skills: setting up an online collaborative space.

- team organisation skills: determining necessary tasks and schedualing.

- creating a thematic vision and collaborating to co-ordinate and present

that vision.

- documenting and presenting the results of your collaboration.

If you DO NOT attend workshops you ARE NOT a part of the Conference

and accordingly will not be evaluated.

Friday March 3rd. : GUIDELINES FOR CONFERENCE ORGANIZORS:

Layne, Graham, Grace, Dace, Sally, Richard, Susan, Steven, Jacqueline & Jason

This is your conference, as a group of ten you are collectively responsible for the success of the

overall administration and presentation of the conference. This means every element of the

conference. I am of course, more than happy to guide and advise you along the way -- but, I would

like you to take on the full responsibility of designing this conference.

You are a team of ten organized into committees and individual responsibilities, and if one person

can not fulfil their duties, others step in for the sake of the Conference. You have your assigned

duties, take a look at the Workshop Guidelines I have posted -- and I look forward to Monday’s

Workshop.

Your Immediate Objectives are:

Layne you need to provide me with a list of tasks and deadlines for each organizor. I’d like

to have an overall impression of everyone's schedual and duties. If you could post this -- has

anyone started a Conference WikiPage yet? I’d like to have a virtual space just for organizing the

conference. If this isn’t available by Sunday, I guess you could just e-mail me the list of tasks and

sched.

Graham: You should be working with Layne to create an overall administrative system --

Your duties are comparable to a Master of Ceremonies -- you work both behind the scenes with

organization and you work up front with the presentations. You are like the link between organizors

and presenters: this means you have an overall view of everything going on concerning the

conference. Stay on top of problems, help people work out their issues with organization, and be

everybody’ s friend.

Selection Committee: For Monday you need to be prepared to discuss proposals with each

group. Schedual your time accordingly, you’ll need more time with some groups, less time with

others. Break up and talk to the groups individually. This is in your hands! You need to make

evaluative decisions, and you have to communicate those decisions. You work as a committee --

enjoy the task and good luck.

Richard, Susan & Steven: . Do you have laptops to bring to the workshop classes? If not

tell me asap and I will try to book one or two for our workshops so you can work on the site and

the brochure in the workshop classes.

Jacqueline & Jason I will book cameras for our workshops as well. You will also want to

get some ‘workshop’ footage of people working together to develop the conference. Maybe do an

interview with the ‘Key Note Speaker, Phil -- you know, start getting some footage for our

documentary and start editing. Thinking about titles, style, background music.... you come up with

your own ideas.
