Another Step: Work Breakdown
I think our posts have demonstrated that our group has an excellent conceptual understanding for setting up our case. Everyone has offered questions, issues, and many details needed for approaching this project. In my own mind, I would like to narrow a few things down so that we can start identifying the top few things we want to present in our 15 minutes.
For example, there are 7 domains that we need to cover in our presentation. In 15 minutes, that is less than 2 minutes to address each issue (we need an intro, too). So, we should pick perhaps 3 of the domains that are the most important for our case and concentrate on forming our presentation around those.
If that's not possible, perhaps we can choose a handful of concrete activities we want to be proposing? These will have to be the higher-level activities so that we avoid too much information for 15 minutes.
For example, I would like to propose establishing a new support model: Learning Technology Team Model. I could present this idea and provide information about what this program will change and why, how we know it is successful, the kind of budget it needs, etc (addressing all the 7 domains of this activity).
A Way To Breakdown The Work
Perhaps 2 other group members could do the same for 2 other activities? Then another group member could work on the one-page web page (that could go into more detail than the presentation material), and another person can work on getting some of the basic presentation started? Then on Wednesday we can work as a group to put the final presentation materials together and do some practice run-throughs of our presentation.

Sorry this post is a bit confusing. By the 7 domains, I am referring to the 7 topics of the Institute (project management, financial, IT issues, faculty issues, assessment & evaluation, etc).
In the end I am proposing that we choose 3 main points we want to propose and work on those, addressing the 7 areas within the context of each main point. I hope that makes sense.
Finally, I am proposing that we come up with a way to distribute the work so that we get everything done and don't have too many people working on 1 thing. :-)
Hope this explanation helps.
