Answer a series of questions to get recommendations for different formats
Need to provide a description of the tool box and the list of tools, what is each tool

Provide comments on scope to Zac

'Status of WG Tasks 1-7'

'Recruitment discussion'

'Review Training Delivery Methods document'

EPA has a contractor working on an independent eval of course delivery formats
Chris suggested that the next product after the terminology/delivery options list is developed, should be a tool to help guide decisions on when to use each option
Project charter at WDNR for providing recommendations on how to use the products of a project
Could use the descriptions of the options as embedded links on the LMS describing how the course materials are configured; **Recommendation for the LMS WG: add a delivery method link to the new LMS for courses**
Webinars are misused when they sit by themselves; used well as stand alone resources, or part of a larger curriculum with other interactive components
Must consider resources needed to develop the materials to support different delivery options
Chris to post delivery methods document to Sharepoint; WG members edit there
