How will your team use the pathway? (Offer your ideal scenario)

Example 1: We plan to review the pathway individually as homework on our own computers, then come together to discuss and create team answers with paper print outs. Our recorder will enter the information on his or her home computer.

Example 2: We will meet in the office conference room of one of our team members. There is a computer display projector; we plan to discuss and answer the questions together.

Example 3: Some of our team members have computers, others don't. We plan to have a paper printout of the pathway for each team member and to arrange for at least one computer at each meeting so all can experience the pathway online. We plan to do most of our work offline and have a recorder enter the information.
