Technologies, teaching practices, or desireable functionalites that were simply expressed when the workshop participants contributed their ideas to the Education Theme of the brainstorming session generally clustered around the following higher order descriptors. A few descriptors actually tended themselves to group together. These are noted parenthetically as descriptor(pairing)
- Pedagogical strategies (capture)
- Easy Access with attention to User Interface Design - this latter phrasing is a euphemism for easy-to-use
- Infrastructure Integration
- Capture/Record/Preserve
In addition to these categories, descriptors of the attributes of the categories define additional qualities important to the realization of the intent expressed in the behaviors or desired states collected from the IC Workshop. Expanding the components identified by their own metadata leads to
- Pedagogies
- Collaboration (type)
- Authentic Learning (type
- Face-to-Face (where)
- setting (physical space qualities)
- Easy Access witih Attention to User Interface Design
- Security
- Modalities (point-to-point, multipoint, etc.)
- Bandwidth (dynamically provisioning)
