Project Evaluation and Review

The social aspects of the project will be reviewed to (1) capture the organizational and functional requirements of an IVRO capable of promoting interaction, learning, and collaboration across the three initiatives, (2) review our effectiveness in addressing those requirements, (3) propose alternatives to improve on the IVRO policies/structure/functions, and (4) design and develop new technology tools to support a more effective IVRO system not only for this project, but with application to a broader set of IVROs as well.
