Technical Challenges
Jack Holmes
The 17th International Convention on Students’ Quality Circles is to be held at Kingston Business School in June 2014. Bi-annually the convention is held in Lucknow, India, attracting around 3,500 attendees. It is not possible for Kingston to support this scale of event, due to physical resource shortages. Therefore the stage to host the first truly global virtual convention has been set. This report identifies the key pieces of technology required to ensure the virtual convention is a success.
It has been recognised that the aims of the convention in terms of technological involvement are to run a two track convention made up of Keynotes and Workshops. Furthermore the convention should be providing real-time updates, and create an online resource which can be used beyond 2014 for future reference, providing detailed records of keynotes, workshops, debates and discussions which went on at the convention. Not only physically but also virtually. Technical requirements have been drawn up and a number of technical solutions have been recommended to ensure the convention is available worldwide, no matter what level of ICT is available.
The keynote track is recommended to be live streamed, this allows virtual participants to watch what is happening in the event, although there is no channel for communication with the speaker. However the attendees, both virtual and physical, will be encouraged to use Twitter as a method of sharing their thoughts and opinions on what is being discussed on stage.
Workshops are more interactive, and so present a more complex communication problem. The virtual and physical attendees need to be able to communicate and work together in real-time. Therefore Google+ has been recommended, as it offers superior video conferencing compared with its rivals; it also allows those not participating in the workshop to watch everything live as it happens.
Real-time updates are text and image posts which are available publicly for those unable to view the video streams. Two technologies have been suggested. Twitter will provide short bursts of information about the main topics being discussed and headline news from the event, while Tumblr will be used as a blogging platform to give a more in-depth analysis of events as they occur throughout the convention.
Creating an online resource for future reference is a key aim, ensuring the sustainability of the event after 2014. It has been recommended that a custom site is developed to ensure that information is easily accessible. However two hosting partners have been identified. These have been chosen to reduce the cost of hosting the website, integrate a deeper level of interactivity on the site, and also to aid people sharing the resources across their own social networks. YouTube will host all video content from the event, and Slideshare will host all slide decks and presentations which are used.
