I am Kurt Maly at Old Dominion where we are in the second year of a
distance learning project targeted for college audiences. In this
discussion so far I see one theme emerging: everyone has a different
idea as to what dissemination means. Examples are:
being recognized in academic circles
local community knows about project
participants know how to use results
In my mind the true test for successful dissemination is that products
are getting used by other than project participants in both the local
community(first goal) and the national community(or even international).
We are aiming at eventual commercializing of our system but are
running into a classical catch 22. On the one hand we want to give our
source to other researchers for experimentation, on the other hand our
research office tells us we need to protect the code for eventual
commercialization.
Any comments?
