The study answers how startup weekends generate and refine ideas over a short span of a weekend and which Aristotelian topics of invention are deployed. The project uses case study methods to examine the invention processes as articulated in organizers materials and participants' blogs. This project also applies content analyses to 55 pitches from Startup Weekends. Qualitative and quantitative data provided a more complete picture of a topic and triangulation offindings. The parameters that influence the invention process-e.g., time constraints, an abundance of feedback, competition rules, and fast-forming group dynamics-yielded a proclivity for using past experience; precedent of similar ventures an competition; and personal testimonies as fodder for idea development. The particular brand of activity network that Startup Weekends engender might serve to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaborations and community participatory research for scholars in technical communication as they develop their research agendas.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122861217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, approaches to organizing face-to-face seminars, generally more informal in nature, are often less structured. Organizers of these kinds of non-mandatory and infrequent seminars face specific challenges; in particular pertaining to ways of guaranteeing continued attractiveness to the audience, long-term feasibility of the organizing approach, and accessibility of digital materials. In interviews with other seminar organizers and through literature review, we have found that there is often no training or resources provided to assist organizers in the process. This paper reports on the firsthand experiences of a self-organized team of engineering students using agile content development and online tools to overcome the obstacles of organizing seminars. We also present evidence that supports the improved attractiveness and accessibility of developing contents, as well as the feasibility of self-organizing approach. The data demonstrates the organizers' equal involvement in the whole process, and points to their balanced workloads. It has moreover been observed that the time spent on content development decreases over time when following the proposed organization scheme. Our work constitutes the first step toward providing academics with documented guidance regarding the agile organizing process. We intend to contribute some guidelines to high quality seminar organization with increased accessibility.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115571283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
