The IPCC conference in Montreal was amazing. I scanned the program and found two other presentations specifically dealing with assessment of visual communication in classrooms. I attended both of those sessions, and talked to Nicole Amare and Suguru Ishizaki - and we're all moving in the same direction in slightly different ways. Nicole is working with semiotics as a framework, and Suguru, being at CMU, is, predictably, really into quantitative assessment. It's a great spectrum of approaches. So, I got really fired up about the focus group idea. I made a list of about ten people I would like to have join. Then I put out a call on a list serve, and over twenty people responded! Of course, a few of them were on the original list.
So, having received IRB approval, setting up a Google Group discussion site, and mailing hard copy letters to all prospective focus group participants, today I'm going to open the discussion board and see what happens. There is already dialogue in my in-box about research and references, so I'm optimistic that the contributions to the discussion list will be rich.
