SOLR:Group Discussions

Back to Final Program

=Structure for Final Roundtable Discussions=

For the last 60 minute sessions, the current plan is to split into 5 groups (roughly corresponding to the themes explored over the course of the day). During a 30 minute discussion, the hope is that you will


 * share what you are doing with each other
 * identify and then brainstorm any specific problems you are facing
 * report back on any specific next steps you can think of that arose from this meeting

We will reconvene for the final 30 minutes with each group getting 5 minutes to report back any high points in their conversations.
