Sticky+Notes


 * Workshop / sticky notes**

=Sticky notes= This page records the sticky notes written by participants at the Knowledge Wiki Workshop at Brunel University on 8th July 2009, as part of our agenda-building exercise. They have been organised in tables, under headings which indicate how Steve Dale and Marilyn Leask grouped them. In some cases, the text on a sticky note has been split out into separate topics. There is a column to the right where we can add brief comments. Note of 4th August 2009 by Conrad Taylor — This list of sticky notes may be incomplete; when I check my digital photo-record of the flipchart against the physical artefact, it looks as if a few of the butterflies flew away. Therefore, more may soon be added to the lists below. .
