Conference tnpubs::i-exchange

    Hi,
    
    I planned to attend, but I was sick.   I obtained numerous handouts
    from Charlotte Timlege, who did attend the event.
    
    I look forward to the next EISE event.

I wanted to attend, but I was in a real deadline crunch.  Maybe next time...

I'm always interested in these events, but I 
was also in a crunch.

I heard it was good...

    I too wanted to attend, but alas and alack, the cat had not been
    washed in so long...
    

I also wanted to go, but I was way too busy (and forgot to put it on my
electronic calendar ...I'm lost when things don't end up on my electronic
calendar).

It's hard to get out when you have more work than people :-)

    I also wanted to attend.  The end of the quarter is a difficult time to
    attend seminars and training.
    
    Looking forward to another one.

    I, too, was under a tight deadline.  However, being located at 
    the site where the EISE Expo was held, I was able to attend a 
    couple of the presentations.
    
    The presentations that I did attend were very informational.  
    Some of the information directly applied to my project.  As a
    result, I was able to network with individuals and teams for 
    information sharing and collaboration.
    
    Although I couldn't attend many of the presentations, I did
    overhear many `hallway' conversations.  Overall, people really
    liked the expo, found the presentations informational, and
    enjoyed meeting new people and seeing old friends.
    
    The EISE Expo team did a great job organizing and managing 
    the event! 
    
    Topic suggestion for future expos:
    
    - There are teams developing game scenarios (such as jeopardy, 
      trivial pursuit) as an alternate learning solution.  It 
      would be interesting to see a suite of these.
    

    I presented at and attended the media presentations at Taylor Street.
    
    Overall, it was a good experience.  I was impressed by the variety of
    on-line information we provide and by the possibilities as we expand
    our tools.  
    
    While there were interested participants in the presentations I
    attended, I was struck by the fact that most were writers already using
    these tools and techniques.  It would be nice to see participants who
    now write "traditional" hardcopy and bookreader books, expressing an
    interest in broadening their scope.
    
    As a presenter and attendee, the major detractor from the experience
    was the lack of presentation equipment and access to other network
    sites.  This cost time and was disorienting.  I know the planners lost
    some of the resources they were counting on at the last minute.  I just
    want to reemphasize the importance of having adequate tools both for
    development and demonstration of these concepts.

I Did attend, in fact I was a presenter.  I too thought the major detractor
was the presentation equipment.   It also made me as a presenter very nervous
to be switching back and forth and not to have set up everything and checked 
it out an hour before start time. 
                                                                  
I got alot of interesting information to take away with me, but none 
that I'm using at the moment. 

Networking with people was great.  I met people that I'm sure I'll be able to
call on in the future for help. 


No time for lunch unless you missed a seminar!  ARGH !!!!!


>>. What suggestions do you have for the next Expo? 
>> 	-  Suggested topics or themes 
>>		(including any you'd like to present)
>>	-  Suggested format, schedule, location
>>	-  Other

I think it might be more useful to novices if the pace were alot slower:

	Have a couple of presentations one in the morning and one in the
	afternoon and have terminals set up so that novices can actually 
	play with and learn, with the experts at hand. 

	The place to have this kind of seminar would be  Parker St in 
	a couple of the classrooms. 

Topics I would like to see in the future: 


	Multimedia Viewer Authoring 
    	  Indepth for people who haven't ever used it 

	Release Engineering the detailed view.  
		Process
		Standards
		SSB, GEL, ??
		Modularity                      

	Online Help/CBT Standards and Style
