TECH SOUP ANNOUNCEMENTS
[08:43] bulaklak: Hiya! I am Michael and I am the online community manager at TechSoup
[08:43] Grace McDunnough: Rhonda Lowry, Media and Technology Strategist for Turner Broadcasting @gracemcdunnough
[08:43] Buffy Beale: yay bulaklak!
[08:44] bulaklak: thanks, Buffy
[08:44] ThinkererSelby Evans: Thinkerer Melville http://virtualoutworlding.blogspot.com/
[08:44] bulaklak: So just a quick question first before I get to the big announcement
[08:45] bulaklak: And this is probably a no brainer for this crowd . . .
[08:45] bulaklak: But how many of you have moved a significant amount of your org’s work into the cloud?
[08:45] Buffy Beale: Thinker! Great to see you
[08:45] ThinkererSelby Evans: Hi Buffy
[08:45] Gentle Heron: None, Bulaklak.
[08:45] Rhiannon Chatnoir: yes to the cloud!
[08:46] Coughran Mayo: 20%
[08:46] ThinkererSelby Evans: My blog work is all in the cloud
[08:46] Buffy Beale: about 10 % and growing
[08:46] bulaklak: Great! Anyone else?
[08:46] Magic Pathfinder: <— uses cloud storage for file sharing… e.g. http://www.mediafire.com/view/?170fmba35afu30c my cookbook
[08:46] ThinkererSelby Evans: In the blog site or in Google drive
[08:46] Pathfinder Lester: most of ReactionGrid’s “stuff” lives in the cloud. all documents and project management data are hosted in the cloud.
[08:46] Tori Landau: Nothing I do with the OU is in the cloud but started using it for first time this week to do with something else
[08:46] Oronoque Westland: never knew what the difference was between the cloud and a host’s server
[08:47] Tank Thibedeau: I have some of my itunes music in the cloud
[08:47] ThinkererSelby Evans: I view the hosts server as part of thecloud
[08:47] Zotarah Shepherd: I have not used the cloud at all.
[08:47] Pixel GhostPixel Ghost is a Registered Nurse who had an interview Wednesday for her first nursing job (hope I get hired) and is continuing her education with online classes through a state accredited university
[08:47] bulaklak: So . . . the reason I ask is that TechSoup mounted a massive survey last year, reaching out in 22 languages to 88 countries
[08:47] bulaklak: We got more than 10.5k responses
[08:48] Zotarah Shepherd: Best of luck Pixel
[08:48] Jerod Bagley: My own unit uses the cloud for a lot of shared resources. But institution wise use is small.
[08:48] bulaklak: And our wonderful tech analyst Ariel Gilbert Knight worked diligently on creating a report to analyze the results
[08:48] bulaklak: We just released the results and analysis yesterday
[08:48] bulaklak: With the executive summary in 22 languages
[08:49] bulaklak: There’s some interesting stuff in here about how NGOs are using (or not) the cloud and what their perceptions of the technology are
[08:49] bulaklak: Here is the link
[08:49] bulaklak: http://bit.ly/NGOCloud
[08:49] bulaklak: I hope you will share this far and wide and enjoy reading it over
[08:49] bulaklak: And perhaps at a future time we could have Ariel join us to talk about it
[08:49] Gentle Heron: What’s the Readers Digest version of the findings?
[08:49] Gentle Heron: Do we or don’t we?
[08:49] bulaklak: Gentle, the link will take you to a blog written by our marketing copywriter
[08:50] bulaklak: That sums things up nicely
[08:50] bulaklak: And if you want to do the deeper dive, you can download the report from there
[08:50] Gentle Heron: You don’t want to put anything in the record here, now?
[08:50] bulaklak: Oh sure I can give you some factoids
[08:50] Gentle Heron: Thanks!
[08:50] bulaklak: • 90% of respondents worldwide are using cloud computing
[08:50] bulaklak: • 60% say lack of knowledge is the greatest barrier to adoption
[08:51] bulaklak: • 79% say the greatest advantage of adoption is easier software/hardware administration
[08:51] bulaklak: • 47% say cost-related changes and ease of setup would be the greatest motivators for moving their IT to the cloud
[08:51] bulaklak: • 53% report plans to move a “significant portion” of their IT to the cloud within three years
[08:51] bulaklak: So those are some of the high level findings
[08:51] bulaklak: And many more here http://bit.ly/NGOCloud
[08:51] Gentle Heron: Thank you.
[08:52] Rhiannon Chatnoir: Thanks Bulaklak 🙂
[08:52] bulaklak: And that’s all I’ve got for today!
[08:52] Jerod Bagley: Yes, thanks for the summary
[08:52] Buffy Beale: thank you bulaklak
[08:52] bulaklak: Have a great meeting and a great weekend!
[08:52] Rhiannon Chatnoir: Great – lets move on to Mentors Central
MENTORS CENTRAL
[08:52] Rhiannon Chatnoir: Today for Mentor Central we have Brena Benoir to speak, let’s welcome her up and please start whenever your ready.!
[08:52] Zinnia Zauber: Thank you!
[08:52] Zinnia Zauber: Rah Brena!
[08:53] Buffy Beale: yayyy Brena!!
[08:53] HB Eternal: BB Rocks!
[08:53] Gentle Heron: Go Brena!
[08:53] Brena Benoir: Good morning everyone
[08:53] Brena Benoir: As you can see from the poster this morning our topic is SMART Goals
[08:54] Brena Benoir: we have focused on the community concept lately and I thought this woudl help orgs look at why they are here and what their goals are and help examine those closer
[08:54] Brena Benoir: This morning we will be taking a look at the SMART goal concept. The hopes is that this will allow us
to set goals for our work within in our organizations. We all have different goals when we start work
in virtual worlds. Anywhere we go, sometimes we are able to achieve goals, sometimes we are not.
When we don’t feelings build and disappointment sets in and leads to a sense of failure and desire to give up.
[08:55] Brena Benoir: Understanding the SMART Goal concept will allow us to set better goals and focus on what we are really
setting out to achieve, experience the feeling of successes, and continue our growth.
[08:55] Brena Benoir: S=SPECIFIC
This aspect tackles the who, what when, where, whys. It’s focuses on the details.
For example: I want to lose weight. This is not specific for some of these reasonsS=SPECIFIC
This aspect tackles the who, what when, where, whys. It’s focuses on the details.
For example: I want to lose weight. This is not specific for some of these reasons
[08:56] Brena Benoir: What are some reasons why this doesn’t meet the specific criteria?
[08:56] Gentle Heron: doesn’t set a numeric goal
[08:56] Brena Benoir: right
[08:56] Tank Thibedeau: no time frame
[08:56] Brena Benoir: correct
[08:56] Brena Benoir: what does healthy mean?
[08:56] Brena Benoir: What might be a way to restate this in to something specific?
[08:57] bulaklak: I want to lose 60 lbs by Christmas
[08:57] Brena Benoir: good job bulaklak!
[08:57] Coughran Mayo: bukalak: see me!
[08:57] bulaklak: (that’s my fantasy)
[08:57] Brena Benoir: moving along to the second part
[08:57] Brena Benoir: M=MEASURABLE
Establishing the guidelines about how to assess overall progress on the goal.
Examples of measures could be:
I will lost 10 pounds within the next 3 months.
I will hold an event in my office one time each month to support the goal of fundraising for my org in
the virtual setting.
My organization will sponsor an event 4 times a year in my NPC space to educate about addiction
and mental health issues.
[08:58] Brena Benoir: This give us something measure or quantify in some way our goal by
[08:59] Brena Benoir: A=ATTAINABLE
This step encourages us to look at the details of how we go about accomplishing our goals. What supplies,
resources, education, etc. will we need in order to accomplish our overall goal. Working on this step
allows us to formulate the substeps to help work to achieve the small successes to work towards
our overall goal.
[08:59] Brena Benoir: We want to make sure they are achievable from the start of settign them
[08:59] Brena Benoir: R=Realistic
This step addresses a major component we address in the substance abuse field, that is willingness.
We look at our willingness to accomplish the goal and our ability to do so. If we set goals that we
know that we cannot accomplish, we set ourselves up for failure from the start.
[09:00] Gentle Heron: That helps with motivation, right?
[09:00] Brena Benoir: That is correct
[09:00] Brena Benoir: if we feel they are out of reach from the start, we already feel at a disadvantage
[09:00] Brena Benoir: Many children say I want to become a professional athlete someday. If they aren’t working on their athletic
abilities growing up that isn’t a possibility at all. The reality is that is a small portion of
them will actually achieve that goal and many of these have honed and worked on their skills for years.
[09:01] Brena Benoir: If your org has a fundraising goal in world, ask yourself what is a realistic amount to target in virtual worlds.
[09:01] Brena Benoir: our last component is Timely
[09:01] Brena Benoir: T=TIMELY
This is where we establish a set time frame in order to accomplish our goal.
Example: My organization is new to NPC, I want others to learn about my organization and what we do.
[09:01] Brena Benoir: I will sponsor an event in my NPC space within one month of being granted tenant space in NPC where I will
educate attendees about my organization and mission statement.
I will meet 3 new members of organizations each month to improve my network in NPC.
[09:02] Brena Benoir: The SMART goal concept is acceptable for use across the spectrum from personal use to nonprofit
sector use to corporate use and anywhere in between.
[09:02] Brena Benoir: I strongly encourage you to look your involvement
in this community and virtual worlds in particular and do some self questioning to see if your
organization’s goals are consistent with your mission statement and your purpose in
being here in a virtual capacity.
[09:03] Brena Benoir: here are a couple of sources you can explore should you want further information: http://www.oma.ku.edu/soar/smartgoals.pdf

[09:03] Brena Benoir: Any questions?
[09:03] Gentle Heron: Very smartly done, Brena.
[09:03] Buffy Beale: that was great Brena thanks!
[09:04] Zinnia Zauber: This is awesome!

[09:05] Zinnia Zauber: Rah Svea!
[09:05] Svea Morane: Hi there. It is very good to be with you to share what Mayo Clinic is doing in Second Life. The fact that we are having this meeting is one reason we are excited about Second Life. The community and the relationships that are developed here are examples of the interactions that make for better healthcare.
[09:05] Zotarah Shepherd: Yay Svea!
[09:05] Rhiannon Chatnoir: First a bit about our speaker…
Brian Kaihoi has been with Mayo Clinic for 35 years. During that time he has held a variety of administrative and operational positions.

Currently, Brian is the Mayo Foundation Web Administrator, working with all Mayo Clinic Web activities, and works with the Center for Innovation, which is finding ways to transform the way health care is experienced and delivered.
[09:05] Svea Morane: I coordinate our Second Life activities, as part of my role as the Web administrator at Mayo Clinic. I have been with Mayo Clinic for 39 years serving in a variety of roles around education, technology and business.
[09:05] Svea Morane: I want to give you a little background on Mayo Clinic as an organization, then talk about our Second Life activities and how they fit into our larger organization. The copy from the slides will appear in local, so I will not repeat that, but rather comment on the slides.

– 100,000+ devices on our network
– Portal services for patients, interactive phone and mobile applications, very active with social media
– Online course registration and staff services
– But, as a Fortune 100 business, we are conservative
[09:08] Pooky Amsterdam: that is great
[09:08] Svea Morane: Mayo Clinic has been active digitally for a long time. Our health information Web site www.mayoclinic.com has been a top rated site for many years.
[09:09] Pixel Ghost: I used it for research in school!

[09:10] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation:
Slide 9
Mayo Clinic Model
– “3 Shield Model”
– Clinical Care, Research, Education all supported by Administration
– Encouraging the adoption of Virtual Worlds requires engagement with all parts of the organization
– The biggest challenges are “cultural” not even “technical”
[09:10] Svea Morane: Internally, bringing Second Life to Mayo Clinic has been the result of lots of meetings, demonstrations, talking with colleagues, and picking good projects in visible areas. We have worked on projects in all parts of the organization.

— School of Professional Development (continuing medical education) 140 +
— Transform Symposium (streaming video) 2
[09:11] Svea Morane: Using SL for education has been an easy step for our folks to make, and has been working very well. Many groups in SL do this already. We have sessions that are private, public and some that require registration fees. The slide references the number of presentations we have done of each type.
[09:12] Pixel Ghost: awww the Dalai Lama 🙂
[09:12] Svea Morane: The Dahlai Lama presentation filled up our region in about 4 minutes 🙂
[09:12] Pixel Ghost: I saw him when he visited my state and he’s wonderful!

Slide 12
Photo of Mayo Clinic Second Life Conference Center
[09:12] Svea Morane: We built a conference center on our space, that was a good result of getting our own staff to think broadly about what a conference center needs, and not trying to replicate our physical spaces.
[09:13] Coughran Mayo: The Dalai Lama never complains
[09:13] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 13 of 23

Slide 13
Photo of Session in Conference Center
[09:13] Svea Morane: Presentations from our physicians are popular, and exciting for our staff to present. We have good success in having our physicians interact with colleagues in other countries without having to allow for all the travel time.
[09:13] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 14 of 23
[09:13] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation:
Slide 14
Education – many partners
– Collaborations with other healthcare and education groups
– School of nursing doing clinical practice in our spaces
– Multiple campuses of medical schools collaborating
[09:13] Svea Morane: Since education is done so broadly in Second Life, we have found many helpful partnerships
[09:14] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 15 of 23
[09:14] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation:
Slide 15
Administrative – defined
– Collaborative Mayo work groups across campuses
– Collaboration with non-Mayo groups
– Professional association meetings
– Prototyping physical space: scale models, design ideas, traffic flow
– Disaster preparedness simulation
[09:14] Svea Morane: Administrative functions are becoming more numerous in SL now too. Getting groups from different locations together to work together is a plus, as well as using SL to prototype new physical spaces.

Photo of Office Space Modeling
[09:15] Svea Morane: Building a prototype allows for groups to experience the space in real time before it is physically created, and then make adjustments to the design before you require expensive change orders.
[09:15] Pooky Amsterdam: SL is amazingfor prototyping
[09:15] Jerry Buchko: Yes.
[09:15] Buffy Beale: it sure is and hii Pooky

Clinical Practice – being defined
– Most difficult to implement because of integration with highly regulated existing RL activities
– Support groups
– Procedure simulation
– Therapy
– Personalized patient education
[09:15] Svea Morane: We are currently running experiments using SL for real patient care, but these are not in routine practice yet. This is the area of activity that has the greatest potential for Mayo Clinic, and where we will be pushing the hardest.
[09:16] Gentle Heron: also the most innovative!
[09:16] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 18 of 23
[09:16] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation:
Slide 18
Research – getting started
– In the USA, 70% of clinical trials do not get enough participants and so are not completed
– Recruiting for trials has been successful, and very low cost
– Many groups do research in SL, but not traditional medical research
[09:16] Svea Morane: Medical research is another area where we have had good success, in recruiting patients for clinical trials on our physical campuses.
[09:17] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 19 of 23
[09:17] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation:
Slide 19
Projects Being Developed
– Virtual World International Hospice Ò education about hospice as well as therapeutic interactions
– Wellness activities, including “prepare a meal together and eat together”
– Multi-campus medical school student services
– Cognitive impairment therapy for traumatic brain injury
[09:17] Svea Morane: The appetite for additional work in virtual worlds is great 🙂 with no lack of project ideas.
[09:18] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 20 of 23
[09:18] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation:
Slide 20
Necessary Success Factors
– Persistence: always ready to do a demo and help someone be a star
– Work through existing relationships
– Help others get done what they want done, not help you do what you want
– Give lots of your own personal time
– Think like an “intrepreneur“
[09:18] Svea Morane: The success we have had in using Second Life to help our patients and support our organization’s goals is directly related to the relationships we have established in our physical world, and in this virtual world. It cannot be over-stressed how important it has been to collaborate and help others see the vision.
[09:19] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 21 of 23
[09:19] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation:
Slide 21
Barriers to Use
– Technical Ò something simple like a different slide viewer to accommodate 100 slides in 20 minutes
– The ÏflakinessÓ of Second Life requires backup systems
– IT security thinking SL is a game to be blocked
– Traditionalists thinking face-to-face is real and SL is not real
[09:19] Svea Morane: There are certainly barriers to success, that we all run in to, and many have found solutions for. Again, talking with others and working things through is the key to getting the results we want.
[09:20] Svea Morane: I think we need to find a way to quarantine all the traditionalists 😉
[09:20] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 22 of 23
[09:20] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation:
Slide 22
Keys to Success
– Be a real resident: work, play, do, interact
– Have a story to tell Ò Why this matters to you
– Never be defensive, always supportive
– Be persistent and cheerful
– Help others be successful, then sell their success
– Collaborate – You are not alone
[09:20] Oura Scribe: lol
[09:20] Gentle Heron: HA a reservation for them!
[09:20] Pixel Ghost: stifles a giggle
[09:21] Svea Morane: The last point to make about our work in SL is the tremendous benefit of collaboration, and the willingness we have here to do that. There are great people with fabulous skills and a willingness to share for the greater good. We deeply indebted to folks like Gentle Heron at Virtual Ability, Dave Taylor at the Imperial College, Panacea Luminos from New York Healthscape, Coughran Mayo with Preferred Family Health, and organizations that have have shown us ways to work, like New Citizens Incorporated and Builders Brewrey. We have also been very fortunate to connect with a talented builder named Oura Scribe.
[09:21] Tori Landau: Agrees with Svea
[09:21] Pooky Amsterdam: wyayay
[09:21] Magic Pathfinder: Hurray for NCI! I teach there! Eeeep!
[09:21] Gentle Heron: Fantastic list of “key to success”…. these are ALL so important.
[09:22] Mayo Clinic NPC presentation whispers: Slide 23 of 23
[09:22] Rhiannon Chatnoir: yes, love your points of keys to success
[09:22] Svea Morane: We are very excited to be part of the Second Life community, and to live and work in this space. It is a real pleasure.
[09:22] Pooky Amsterdam: and in beating cancer a comunity support can be all the difference
[09:22] Magic Pathfinder: Can you take questions?
[09:22] Oura Scribe: applauds
[09:22] Svea Morane: While i see 25,000,000 people a month on our Web sites….
[09:22] Zinnia Zauber: Yay! Thank you Svea!
[09:22] Svea Morane: the interactions in SL are much deeper..
[09:22] Svea Morane: and long term.
[09:23] Svea Morane: it is that contact with patients and providers..
[09:23] Rhiannon Chatnoir: I agree 🙂
[09:23] Svea Morane: that makes a difference
[09:23] Gentle Heron: That’s a huge difference, and difficult to measure and document.
[09:23] Conover’s Flight-Helper 6.3.3 (WEAR ME!): Flight-helper is ready and operational.
[09:23] Svea Morane: Questions?
[09:23] Gentle Heron: Svea, congrats on all you do in SL. You said many important things today. Can you elaborate on this one please?
“The fact that innovation is so central to our culture has made it easier to bring virtual worlds to our organization.”
[09:24] Svea Morane: yes….
[09:24] Pooky Amsterdam: Applauds Applauds!
[09:24] Svea Morane: at least here at Mayo..i will get some snickers about “virtual worlds”….
[09:24] Svea Morane: but no outright rejection.
[09:24] Svea Morane: we have had a lot of crazy ideas..
[09:24] Svea Morane: that worked over time.
[09:25] Svea Morane: so you get a little latitude in talking with folks
[09:25] Magic Pathfinder: Has Electronic Health Record data been used in SL? How?
[09:25] Jerry Buchko: Svea, You
[09:25] Svea Morane: other organizations may not have that advantage
[09:25] Svea Morane: Magic.. not in SL.. but opensim behind our firewall.
[09:25] Svea Morane: there are data privacy issues we have to deal with
[09:25] Jerry Buchko: Svea, You’ve accomplished a great deal. Who sets these projects in motion? Or do they just emerge organically on their own? ;D
[09:26] Svea Morane: Panacea Luminos has more informaiton on how they have done that on a personal basis at NY Healthscape
[09:26] Svea Morane: Jerry…
[09:26] Svea Morane: I do a lot of selling 🙂
[09:26] Gentle Heron: Panacea would be the one to ask about EHR.
[09:26] Svea Morane: finding the right people on a team.. getting funding.. engagement
[09:26] Jerod Bagley: Svea, You talked about success with recruitment for clinical trials using SL. Can you elaborate on how that works?
[09:27] Svea Morane: Yes… from sign boards to group notices… recruiting involves getting information to people…
[09:27] Pathfinder Lester: Svea, have you tried getting grant funding for any of this work through organizations like NIH or NLM?
[09:27] Svea Morane: then signing “consent” forms
[09:28] Svea Morane: Yes Path… I have some NIH funding now.. and the “cognitive impairment” treatment will be another big grant
[09:28] Gentle Heron: Svea, you also said “It cannot be over-stressed how important it has been to collaborate and help others see the vision.” How do you see the vision of those you collaborate with, and how do you integrate their vision with Mayo’s vision?
[09:28] Pathfinder Lester: Svea, congrats! nice work. 🙂
[09:28] Svea Morane: Thanks Path…
[09:28] Svea Morane: Gentle.. i think i talk about SL in almost every meeting…
[09:28] Svea Morane: when folks talk about weather..
[09:28] Svea Morane: I say it is nice on Mayo’s beach in SL
[09:29] Svea Morane: talk about social events..
[09:29] Svea Morane: music..
[09:29] Gentle HeronGentle Heron chuckles.
[09:29] Svea Morane: art..
[09:29] Pooky Amsterdam: Q: Are people increasingly receptive when they see the results are they surprised?
[09:29] Rhiannon Chatnoir: 🙂
[09:29] Gentle Heron: It’s like you LIVE here, Svea, isn’t it?
[09:29] Svea Morane: anything to help people see this is “real life”…
[09:29] Svea Morane: just without the geography
[09:29] Dancers Yao: do you treat patients without medical insurance at the Mayo Clinic?
[09:29] Svea Morane: stories.. lots of stories..
[09:29] Rhiannon ChatnoirRhiannon Chatnoir agrees…this is all ‘real’
[09:29] Svea Morane: i have patient stories of people helped by Mayo herelll
[09:29] Svea Morane: and that is wonderful
[09:30] Svea Morane: Yes Danders.. we do treat… there are funds to help.. we have a large social work department…
[09:30] Svea Morane: and we translate to 80 spoken languages in our language department
[09:31] Svea Morane: Yes. Gentle this is home 🙂
[09:31] Svea Morane: Pooky. .yes people are more and more receptive..
[09:31] Svea Morane: i work to get reports in teh weekly newsletter..
[09:31] Amy Waverider: Is that only for residents in florida and the other state where the hospitals are or do you offer social work to other states?
[09:31] Svea Morane: strategically have lunch with decision makers and influencers
[09:32] Pooky Amsterdam: tht is great -the stories yes it is just stunning how much this helps
[09:32] Svea Morane: Social services are available to all patients.. services vary by state and what is available..
[09:32] Svea Morane: Medicaide for instance is a state program.. medicare is federal
[09:33] Oura Scribe: The Mayo Clinic is in Florida, Minnesota and Arizona 🙂
[09:33] Svea Morane: and SL Oura….. i talk about SL as our 4th campus
[09:33] Amy Waverider: ok ty
[09:33] Dancers Yao: we need one in California!
[09:33] Oura Scribe: lol, yes Svea… SL too
[09:34] Svea Morane: California.. isn’t that where the crazy dancers are 🙂
[09:34] Jerod Bagley: You are right Pooky. Having a highly regarded institution like the Mayo Clinic with success stories to share gives a big boost to all of our efforts. Thanks Svea for sharing.
[09:34] Dancers Yao: yes!
[09:34] Svea Morane: i need to say thank you… because we would not be doing as well as we are…
[09:34] Svea Morane: without groups and people like you
