Milestone 2.5
D. Audio-Recording
1-Our survey revealed that audio-recording of meetings will have to be designed correctly in order to be helpful to users. Only 3% of respondents currently use audio recording and only 40% wanted audio recording of meeting. When asked what they would do with an audio-recording one respondent indicated that he or she would use an audio-recording “if formal reviews of meetings were conducted” in order “to see how effective the meeting was”. The same person wrote that the audio recording must be “broken up into logical tracks that ma[k]e it easy to find a particular segment of the meeting.” Another wrote that they would use it if they needed to “follow up on a topic and had not taken notes during a meeting.” Yet another respondent wrote that he or she would “Archive it to a…records management system.” Other suggested uses included transcription.2-Some people expressed concerns about using audio-recordings to capture meeting information. One respondent wrote that there are “nonverbal elements of conversation that get lost in audio recordings” and another thought it might“ inhibit people’s participation in meetings.”
