7. Between Meetings: Imagine you have the
ability to browse and search past meetings. You can browse a single meeting or a meeting archive (the “library” of meetings conducted by you, people in your group or company) based on a variety of parameters, such as by words spoken, action items assigned, decisions taken, discussion topics raised, or even name of a participant.
8. Between Meetings: Browsing previous meetings, would you more likely use this for large group or small group meetings (less than 7 participants), or equally valuable for large and small groups?
11. Between Meetings: Meeting summary, would you most likely use this for large group or small group meetings (less than 7 participants), or find it equally valuable for large and small groups?
14. Between Meetings: Would you more more likely to use an Agenda Preparation Assistant for a large group, a small group meeting (less than 7 participants) or equally valuable for large and small groups?
19. During Meetings: A system that automatically presents you with timely and relevant materials during the meeting, to augment your knowledge or background/context on the topic or topics that are currently being discussed.
More Information to help you answer Question 19: During meetings people are frequently looking at their computers while also giving the meeting partial attention. They may be consulting the information on their hard disk, on a server behind a firewall or on the Internet in order to make more informed decisions, to verify a statement which may not be accurate or to support a point they would like to make during the meeting. The proposed "content linking" system "listens" to the words spoken during the meeting takes the active role of bringing the potentially relevant information to the user's screen, without requiring any action on the part of the user. If a piece of information is deemed important, it is available just by clicking on the link. The same information can also be quickly shared with others, if conditions are met.
20. During Meetings: Content Linking (i.e., the automatic posting of timely and relevant information during a meeting) would be more useful to you during large group or small group meetings (less than 7 participants) or equally valuable?
More Information to help you answer Question 22: When you are at a remote location, with or without videoconferencing, you may not feel that you are on equal footing with the people who are in the room. You may not be able to see all the participants' actions or gestures and facial expressions. A remote participant assistant works in real time to increase your (the remote participant's) engagement during a meeting in progress by giving cues on your screen (phone or PC) about the attention of those in the meeting. Cues may include: you are being addressed, someone else is being addressed, you are being listened to by all the participants, only some participants are listening to you.
More Information to help you answer Question 23: Sometimes, when people are meeting remotely, they don't feel that they are on equal footing and, since they can't detect all the non-verbal interaction in a room of face-to-face participants, find it difficult to request or release floor control. This remote participant assistant detects when you can have or, if you want the floor, requests on your behalf, and tells you when you should begin to speak because you have the floor. This can make turn taking and discussion during meetings with remote participants much smoother.
