The Berlin Wall, definitely – for me, anyway.
I just found this awesome website, which maps our 3-, 4-, and 5-day itineraries for visits to Berlin – complete with an app that links to your calendar…http://www.visitacity.com/en/berlin?gclid=CjwKEAjwqZ7GBRC1srKSv9TV_iwSJADKTjaDjGp4Xm3Pj8nj58DebLj-RRsPFJAhGxWSguf1GasrRBoCHAbw_wcB
Thanks for this, Pepijn….great work.
In relation to (1), I am in support of spending money to increase functionality of the discussion forum.
In relation to (2) – and this may be impossible…but for some forums, I get an email that provides the content of the post…I got this for your post above – which is great. In some forums, though, there is an option to reply “above the line” to that email and in doing so, it posts onto the forum…without me having to directly go to the site to do this. I wonder what is involved in setting up this kind of functionality – and whether we want this as another way to encourage engagement with the posts?
Thanks,
FrancesThanks for this suggestion, Stephen – agreed!
The ISRII members firstly need to know the Forum exists, and we need to work out what we want them to use it for. Pepijn made some suggestions in his website specifications document:
o Use forum for special interest groups (already 3 groups established). This may create momentum.
I agree and like this suggestion – are all 3 SIGs set up with a separate forum? I’ll check!o ‘Ask the expert’ link to forum topic?
I also like this idea, and I wonder if we could link it to an “in press” paper in Internet Interventions, and maybe have an author available to discuss their paper/research in more detail??
o Allow members to post jobs (empty forum available)
Great idea again – perhaps we could call it “current opportunities” or something like that, and have members also posting information about awards, any international/collaborative grant opportunities as well?
o Quarterly digest on most notable information on forum through general email list? This would require some effort from moderators, but may assist in directing ISRII members to the forum.
Top idea as well…I wonder if the “President’s Blog” could do this?? I’d be happy to look at and summarise our most population discussion topics??
I also wonder if another option is to keep people updated (and have them contributing) to the ISRII 2017 conference planning?? Perhaps after each LOC meeting, we (I) could post an update, and seek feedback on things we are wanting to introduce?
Thank you SO much Kate – I really appreciate your thoughts and your time in reviewing the ethics document. These are important changes – I’ll make these and upload the revision.
Hope you are well,
FThanks for uploading these documents, Pepijn! Great feature!
Here are the documents I need each Board Member to sign and email back to me at f.kaylambkin@unsw.edu.au to indicate your agreement with these policies and to declare conflicts of interest.
Will all Directors please review the existing ISRII website over July-August, and start suggesting areas where we can expand on content here please? We can summarise these at the August meeting. Thanks.
Tonya and I have just spoken with Nigel (Elsevier) about the ISRII 2016 conference and plans going forward.
Both Amsterdam (June 2017) and Berlin (October 2017) are highly attractive options for the 2017 conference from Elsevier’s perspective, and they have organised several conferences in both of these cities previously. Logistically is a short run in for the Amsterdam option, which is not ideal, but Elsevier can work with, but from their perspective, both option are highly viable.
Lucy is happy to host the 2019 ISRII.
Thanks Webmaster for adding this discussion to the Forum, and to Thomas and Stephen for your thoughts. The only challenge is locking in the venue for the future ISRII conference, but I am keen that we do this for the next few conferences anyway. I, too, have seen this work with other professional societies that I’m involved in – and it helps me (as a delegate) plan these into travel budget! It might also help increase the lead time for organising – perhaps not for the 2017 conference, but for ones into the future.
