German term

Interview-Protokolle bzw. Foto-Protokolle

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Seminars
To be honest, I'm not to keen on what Linguee throws up for this, mostly "photo protocol."

Original context is from a slide promoting a series of seminars aimed at increasing the management skills of people with a technical background. The term appears in one of three bullet points describing the content of the seminar:
Zur Erleichterung des Transfers von Wissen und Fertigkeiten in die Praxis werden Interview-Protokolle und Präsentationen bereitgestellt.

I asked the person who produced the presentation, and received the following explanation:
Dabei handelt es sich um Foto Protokolle, die während des Tages von den einzelnen Flipchart Blättern erstellt werden.

Heather McCrae Feb 22, 2013:
interview looks like they are taking pictures to visually record the seminar at certain points so that they can use the pics for explanatory purposes, so records would be fine here. I assume the "interview" part is where people are taking part in question/answer sessions with relevant flip charts on view. hope this helps :)
Edwin Miles (asker) Feb 21, 2013:
It seems that... ...it's less about interviews per se and more about a series of flipchart pages produced over the course of a 2-day seminar. I'm more inclined to trust the explanation which was provided later (above, where "Foto Protokolle" appears) than the actual original (where "Interview-Protokolle" appears). From what I can gather, nothing that I'd consider an interview actually takes place. It seems they simply take photos of the flipchart pages. Is this a peculiarly German phenomenon?

But who is interviewing whom? Where does the flipchart fit in?
