Setting The Context

Our University could be called "Beanie U". A group of 5 campus representatives are trying to devise an institutional plan for engaging more faculty, administrators and students across the campus in educational technologies and garnering buy-in for new initiatives and better communication across stakeholders.

The 5 campus reps are: Professor A, IT Director, Instructional Designer, Technology Expert, and Provost or Student. In order to illustrate points, we cut to the Beanie group or to pairs so they can "act out" the issue and present the solution. For example, we could make small video clips or have their digital pictures in our presentation. In other words, we use a picture of the otter when we are talking from the instructional designer perspective in the presentation, the penguin for the faculty issues, etc....

If we present from the perspective of the animals....they could talk about the problem of the "Wild Dog", which could actually be a pseudonym for our case (campus buy-in of technology development). So we could fit some humerous euphemisms into the serious nature of the case study.

I may be getting ahead of myself here, but hey, it's after 5 PM, so I am allowed to be a little goofy (-ier).
