Cara, our project leader, has shared theh 'History of Here' website with us all. The team has had a meeting via our chosen synchronous technology - Elluminate - to discuss our first ideas for the project, which have been posted on the project web site. Ideas discussed had been posted/proposed by several members of group . These ideas were slightly varied - but the consensus seem to be at this stage for a local history project, involving a cross-section of local history enthusiasts (from school children to adults). Technologies to be used for the project include mobiles and Augmented Reality.
This makes the whole process sound seamless, but in fact the process was somewhat complicated by some technical problems, most particularly Elluminate, in which sound was not consistent, and a good deal of the meeting had to be conducted via messaging. ). Moreover, I haven't found the templates very user friendly so I hope this doesn't cause any delays.
Conclusion: With this discussion the basics of the project site can be set up, but the group needs to press on.
