Feedback Friday with a twist

February 20, 2009 · Posted in Feedback Friday  · Posted by IIA

This week I am going to hijack Feedback Friday for my own purposes. *Rubs hands* However rest assured that this is still all about you, the IIA members and all businesses using the internet in Ireland. The IIA currently has six working groups made up of between 10 and 15 expert volunteers each from all sectors and types of business in Ireland. They work hard to produce whitepapers and events. However we are not 100% sure that the medium is currently suiting the masses (whatever about the message: that’s a discussion for another day!) Therefore we would like you to take the poll below in order to let the working groups know what medium most suits you for their outputs. For example would you prefer a series of 5 minute videos to a 10 page whitepaper on a given topic? More options listed below and please feel free to add your own via the “Other” option.

I too like to choose how I digest my material depending on a number of factors, one of the most important being whether I am using my laptop or phone for example. However if I had set it to multiple choice, as PollDaddy call it, it would have muddied the results. However I welcome the qualitative feedback via the comments – thanks!

    I was one of the ‘Other’ I am afraid!

    I think it should be a combination of the above. The paper should be the key final product for those who want to use it.

    A wiki could be good as the paper could be there as well as some of the sources of information used to create it and maybe some of the background stuff that did not make it into the report. Experts in that field could then add and build on what is there and it could be developed over time.

    This should be pointed to and promoted by all the other activities from podcasts to slideshows, blog posts and even twitter posts from the committee as the thing is getting created.

    The whole issue with the new web is not ‘either or’ but ‘whatever as appropriate’!

    Hi Ken,

    Thanks for your feedback. I think your comment about the use of a wiki is a valid point especially as these groups comprise experts volunteering their time. A wiki will allow for the inevitable shifting of commitment and participation that will happen in a group like this. And of course it will allow the paper to develop as the technologies develop.
