  6. Addressing These Challenges • The Institutional Web Management Workshop series seek to address these challenges: Provide a forum for various groups: managers and techies, service (IT Services, Library, MIS, AVS) and academic departments, HE and FE, institutions and national bodies, teaching and research interests, etc. in order to: • get together and talk to each other • discover each others interests & concerns • learn from each other Mixing people from different sectors, organisations, departments and backgrounds is not without difficulties! To address this please explain terminology and acronyms - a glossary is in your delegate pack

  7. The Format • How do we provide a forum for dialogue: • The Parallel Sessions • Aim to provide an opportunity for delegates to actively participate through hands-on work, discussions, group exercises, etc. • Discussion Groups • Opportunity for (brief) free-ranging discussions on one of several topics • Follow-up Activities • Report on main issues from the discussion groups • Materials and reports from parallel sessions to be made available on Web site (if available) • Opportunity for follow-up activities: • Further events  Online activities  etc.
