Encouraging others to use technology

I have worked with others collaboratively to build consensus or to gather input using technology. I try to emphasize that using Sharepoint to review and discuss documents is easier than a face-to-face meeting because it allows participants the flexibility to work together from different time schedules and and work spaces. However, I will cite this as a disappointment in that I had less participation than I had hoped to achieve. Using the ARCS model developed by Keller, I could have done much better with it in several respects. I will next review several aspects of the model which might have a favorable impact on the use of technology in the workplace or in a school.
