Agenda for D&D Exec Conference Call
February 5, 2007

1. D&D Showcase – Given what we’ve learned about “process,” how do we want to move forward with this initiative?

In an effort to model the successful review process of the PacfiCorp competition, this is designed as a special session. We will ask 2c to write a regular session proposal to go through the AECT review process. This is the process we use the PacifiCorp competition. The D&D Showcase will be run as a pilot and be evaluated with the goal of improving this competition for next year. The deadline for proposal submissions will be extended to March 15th. We will be requesting that AECT allow us to distribute the call to the entire membership after the close of the AECT conference proposal call of February 15th. MJ will email Pat, Ward and 2c to apprise them of these developments.

2. Listserv Communication – review Larry’s response to our request that the “note” be taken out of the top of the list messages and discuss our response.

Discussion regarding the communication process included:
We will ask Larry to edit the note to say: Based on feedback from the D&D membership this is an informal forum. If you would like to send a message to the entire list, please send a message to tracey@oakland.edu and it will be forwarded on to the membership.

We decided that we will express our communication concerns to the AECT board and will decide the best way to do that.

3. Conference Planning Update

We expressed our concern of the low number of submissions.
We have an abundant numbers of reviewers.
We will send a follow up message to the membership to remind them to submit.

4. Other Updates
• Elections? – need to send out reminder to vote

A reminder to vote will also be included in the proposal reminder message.

• PacifiCorp?

Everything is going along as planned.

• Communications?
• Others?
Awards Committee Chair Position: We do not have any candidates so we are trying to broaden our search. Everyone has agreed to think about possible candidates and we will discuss names of possible candidates.

5. Discuss goals/initiatives for 2006-07

6. Confirm day/time for next call

Next call is: Monday, February 19th, 12:00noon
