Subject: BAMS article on Workshop Well, congratulations to everyone for the workshop! 
I have looked over the exit survey comments, and the success of the workshop is 
quite evident. I mailed the surveys to Sandra, so if anyone wishes to read them, 
please ask her to send a copy to you. Those people who will be writing the Bulletin 
article sections on workshop evaluation and conclusions would be particularly 
interested, I think. In our committee meeting, I had made suggestions for people 
to be in charge of the primary (or least preliminary) writing of each article 
section. We can change these if you wish. I recall that Michael had proposed a 
change for one section. Here are my original suggestions: 1. Introduction (workshop 
history, motivation, overall design, description of organizers and participant 
groups) [Wetzel, Dempsey, Ramamurthy, Fulker, Nilsson] 2. Plenary speakers on 
scientific content subject [Wetzel, Moody] 3. Presentations related to instructional 
design, instructional technology and assessment [Marlino, Murphy] 4. Panel discussions 
related to instructional design and development [Yarger, Ramamurthy] 5. Subject-area 
lab activities [Dempsey, Knight] (should Recorders do this?) 6. Workshop evaluation 
[Morgan, Vietor] 7. Conclusions [Dempsey, Koch] Acknowledgements [Wetzel, Nilsson] 
References [Wetzel, Marlino] A small group of workshoppers were talking at breakfast 
one morning, and a suggestion was made to 'keep the article to two pages'. I am 
all for the idea of making it brief and to the point. What are your ideas on this? 
We can condense certain material. For example, we can have a table listing the 
workshop leaders, such as: Workshop Chairpersons: David Dempsey, Melanie Wetzel 
Lab Moderators: David Knight, Steve Koch, Charlie Murphy, Mohan Ramamurthy Recorders: 
Sally Bates, Jennie Moody, Michael Morgan, Doug Yarger Instructional Designers: 
Brian Heckman, Mary Marlino, Tom Reeves, Woody Wang Author/Programmers: Pete Boysen, 
Matt Hicks, Mike Taber, Dan Vietor Unidata Systems Experts: Steve Chiswell, Don 
Murray, Tom Yoksas Subject Matter Experts: Greg Byrd, Katy Ginger, Grant Petty, 
Tony Mostek, Melanie Wetzel And, we could have another table listing the speaker 
names and titles of their presentations. Some photos would be great, and perhaps 
a 'screen capture' of one or two of the modules that resulted from the labs (with 
authors permission, of course). Also, I would like to suggest a schedule for the 
article preparation (it has some slack in it to accomodate busy summer schedules): 
By July 25: We have email discussion to decide who will write which sections, 
and discuss overall format of the article By August 25: All primary writers have 
submitted their sections to the group as a whole, gotten some feedback, and made 
revisions By September 25: Final draft is complete and ready for final review 
by everyone interested By October 14 (or whenever the UserComm meets next): Final 
manuscript is ready to submit; copyright form is signed by everyone and article 
is submitted
