[OSList] Virtual Open Space

[Thomas Herrmann]

Hi David

A year or so ago we found a very good software for virtual meetings
Elluminate Live which now has been merged into Blackboard Collaborate which
we have also used for OST meetings online. I do not normally use video but
audio of course. The software also give you opportunities to use whiteboards
to draw a circle where people can write their names, use a talking stick and
have posters like the law and however many principles you like J

 

Then the software allows for breakout spaces where participants self manage
so they can use the law
 After having tried many different softwares this is
the one we like best. It is widely used within the Genuine Contact
community.  I mostly use it for meetings facilitated with Whole Person
Process Facilitation but have also used OST style.

 

For more info about the software see:

Feel very free to get in touch with me too, if you like to know more. I also
have a license to use the software, let me know if you are interested to
experiment a bit with it. I would recommend though, to first look through
the video tutorials which are excellent – even if you won’t need to use all
features presented.

Cheers

Hello All,

 

I am wondering if others could share experiences with virtual Open Space
events? I have a diverse group of somewhere between 20 and 100 people that I
would like to bring together in a virtual open space to address a somewhat
urgent and important issue. I have questions such as...

 

- How can you do a virtual open space?

- What's the same and different vs. a in-person open space?

- What considerations are important in selecting a technology platform?

- What are your tips and suggestions for what may work and what may hinder?

 

I'm anxious to hear about other's experiences and am appreciative of your
sharing.

 

David
