> NEW! Workshop Program Updated (30 Apr): PDF
> NEW! Materials for collaborative exercise
Compendium is about sharing ideas, creating artifacts, making things together, and breaking down the boundaries between dialogue, artifact, knowledge, and data. With roots in modelling, facilitation and hypermedia, Compendium is a visual tool for participatory analysis, proving its value in government, business, education and NGOs. Its diverse applications have included mission planning, policy deliberation and argument analysis.
In 1999, the Compendium Institute held its first workshop at NASA Ames Research Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since then, we have continued to hold annual gatherings around the US and Europe that have brought together the international community of Compendium practitioners, researchers, and developers. This year, we return to NASA, and invite you to take this tremendous opportunity to meet with and learn from other members of the community, which has continued to grow and thrive.
In addition to our usual slew of important topics, we will have a strategic conversation about where we, the community, want to see Compendium evolve over the next few years. Topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Hands-on "master class" activities for improving Compendium usage
- The future evolution of Compendium
- Compendium methodologies -- How to use Compendium?
- Innovations in Compendium usage, including updates from Open University's Knowledge Media Institute and descriptions of how Compendium was used to help plan for NASA's upcoming Moon mission.
- Case studies and best practices
- New features of the Compendium software
The workshop will be highly interactive. Not only will you have a chance to learn from others, you will have the opportunity to share your own work with Compendium and to practice using Compendium with feedback from your peers.
