CARLI Showcase Recap (Alex & Abby)

  • What worked well or went well?
    • At highest attendance we had about 61 attendees and 75 registered (in 2013 we had 83 registered, 45 logged in)
    • Overall structure of the day was good – structuring 3 presentations in a block worked well
    • Variety was great - invited a lot of different people in
    • Online/free – we’re able to record and share out
    • We can keep track of the number of views on the videos we post
  • What didn’t work well or that we could improve on for next year?
    •  More time for bathroom breaks, snacks, etc.
    •  A lot of attendees left at the start of the workshop when breakout rooms were about to be created – might be better to put workshop sessions with interactive elements towards the start of the day
      • Workshop task was unclear, might be the reason for the drop-off  – we need to be more explicit about what the workshop would entail
    • Break time was tight
  • Review survey data
    • 2 attendees have submitted feedback so far
    • Debbie will send an email to registrants and CARLI instruction listserv when Showcase recordings are available. She will also include the feedback survey in the email.
    • Debbie will share the survey data with the group when available
