Welcome to the BIG Collection WindTunneling (WT) environment

WindTunneling is a purpose-built application that enables the Big Ten 91视频 library community to effectively share knowledge and learning across our organizations as we work together to create the BIG Collection. By participating in the many WT projects, you will be contributing your perspective and your voice to our ever growing Knowledge Commons and help shape the design of the BIG Collection.

The element of conversation and listening--of inviting ideas and including voices from across our entire community--is a vital part of the social architecture we are creating and the culture of deep collaboration that is essential to our task of building a knowledge commons for the Big Ten. WindTunneling projects are a continuation of the conversations we hold in our workshops, peer groups, and Convenings, and we invite broad participation in order to have a wide range of voices heard.  The purpose of every WindTunneling project is to create a rich picture of what is living within the Big Ten library community.

The tool we use is called WindTunneling, which is a principle-based tool designed to support a systemic approach to knowledge sharing.

Projects typically consist of two parts:

• Part One (Generating Ideas > Contribute) focuses on gathering your thoughts to a series of prompts.

• Part Two (Generating Ideas > See Outcomes) allows you to review and respond to the ideas submitted by others in our group.

In WindTunneling, you may return to your project, and add new ideas, as often as you wish. All contributions are anonymous. We ask that you be candid, and respectful, and add as much detail as you feel is necessary.

Instructions for how to participate are below. If you have problems logging in or navigating the tool, please reach out to Library Support.
