Remote meetings between farmers and researchers: a case study on asymmetry

Published: 06 November 2004 Publication History

Abstract

In this Note, we describe the preliminary analysis of the use of NetMeeting™ (NM) to share outputs of a simulation model between farmers and researchers at a distance. We mainly describe issues relating to the asymmetries between the two groups, which lead to different technology preferences and needs.
