Development and evaluation of a minutes system focusing on importance in a meeting

At meetings, a variety of outputs such as presentation materials, text minutes, video/audio data are generated. Both meeting participants and absentees can easily understand meeting minutes easily if these data are mutually referred and extracted important points. Therefore, focusing on participants´ importance, we have proposed and developed the system that automatically produces Web pages by collecting and editing meeting data with much labor saving so as to easily understand a sequence of meeting. The importances submitted by participants are automatically collected and showed their status to participants in this system. We developed, first, prototype version 1 and then enhanced to version 2 by taking into consideration of evaluation results obtained from user feedbacks. Finally, we state evaluation results of new version, and show the validity of our developed system.
