Abstract
This roundtable discusses the information technology processes used in the democratic selection of participants in North American Adult Educators: Phyllis M. Cunningham Archive of Quintessential Autobiographies for the Twenty-first Century (Armstrong, Nabb & Czech, 2007), which contains 50 autobiographies from current leading adult educators nominated by their peers. The process is contrasted with information technology used in a recent Delphi study that sought to discover expert opinions concerning what attention should be given to legal content in master's-level, adult education, graduate curricula. The process in the later example was equally democratic, but more probing, time-demanding, and complex; moreover, the Delphi deliberately used less information technology. This comparison and discussion hopes to glean from participants optimum processes for using information technology in other large-scale collaborative projects.
