Remote Instrumentation & Data Visualizations Working Group

[Michael Abbiatti <>]

This is fantastic! Please let me know if there is anything that WICHE/WCET 
can do to support the effort. I also believe our SREB colleagues would be 
interested.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas

Mike :)

Hi James, All,

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Here is a draft brief description of the Remote Instrumentation Content 
Carnival as we discussed at the retreat in Phoenix a few weeks ago. I look 
forward to speaking with the NANSLO/Internet2 RI working group further about 
this on our call on Monday.

Best,
Jennifer

Remote Instrumentation "Content Carnival" Proposal

Goal(s): The primary goal of the proposed Remote Instrumentation “Content 
Carnival” is to build upon the work already done in the NANSLO/Internet2 
remote instrument working group survey project and highlight remote 
instrumentation projects and resources available to the educational community 
in a very real and engaged format through live demos, remote audience 
interaction, and observed participation by schools around the country.

Format: The all virtual event would run for several hours or a half day type 
format (say from 11am PST - 3pm EST) to accommodate multiple timezones and 
maximize participation by schools across the country. We would coordinate 30 
min. “demos” of the remote instrument or labs that agreed to participate 
allowing for a brief presentation or overview by a PI or lab manager and then 
a “demo” if applicable followed by a live Q&A with participating schools. The 
half day format would allow for up to 8 30 minute presentations or if we 
received more than 8 presentation requests we could even run multiple 
simultaneous tracks or break the event up over two days. The entire event 
would be run over live interactive video with an “inner circle” of 
participating IVC sites and a larger “outer circle” of view only sites 
watching the live webstream. Interactive schools would sign up for only 1 30 
minute session so they would not be required to stay connected for the entire 
four hour half day event. Participating remote instrumentation projects/labs 
would gain the additional national/international visibility and awareness of 
their work often key to the educational outreach goals of funded projects. 
Schools and the national community would gain a deeper understanding of the 
available remote instruments and labs reachable over advanced networks.

Next steps:
- Determine the supporting IVC and streaming resources. KINBER can volunteer 
to provide BlueJeans IVC bridging for this if desired (possibly streaming as 
well). Other regional/state networks may have alternative 
resources/suggestions.
- Pick a date for the carnival. Sometime in Feb. - May would be ideal.
- Create a brief proposal format and disseminate to remote instrument 
PIs/labs inviting them to participate.
- Determine the schedule based on content providers committed.
- Create a webpage and registration mechanism (google forms) to allow schools 
to register for particular sessions.
- Advertise the event to schools
- Test with Labs/Content Providers
- Test with Schools
- Live event

It looks like Mondays at 8:30am Pacific/9:30am Mountain/10:30am 
Central/11:30am Eastern works best for the group.  Let's start with a 1/2 
hour monthly standing meeting time .  We can increase frequency and duration 
as needed.

Our first meeting will be Monday Dec 9th.  I'll send a calendar invite 
momentarily.

Until then, Jennifer Oxenford has graciously offered to draft an initial 
description of the proposed  RI "content provider carnival" videoconferencing 
event.  We can discuss the idea in more detail during our Dec 9 meeting.

Best,
James

All,

As we discussed during our recent working group progress report in Tempe, the 
current standing meeting time/day doesn’t work for several members of our the 
team.  I've created the following doodle poll to help us find a time/day that 
works better.   We can probably also consider meeting monthly at this point 
but that is something we can discuss on our next call.

Please submit your standing meeting availability at your earliest convenience:

Thanks!
James
