> Hi all, can OST be transferred into a virtual environment without loosing
> some of its characteristics? It depends of course on what you believe are
> the key components of OST. I think the realtime discussions when they
> happen in the climate created by the four principles and the one law is an
> essential part of OST. I also know from many of the research reports I have
> read about online communication, that the written communication in a forum
> will work for some people but not for others.
> One example, this morning when I read these mails I had to discuss them
> with my husband at the breakfast table to get a grip of what I thought
> about them. Many people are auditive learners and they get their ideas
> while they listen and talk. Others will do fine with written words.
>
> I know that OST works fine in the online environment. My colleague Richard
> Schultz and I have used Blackboard Elluminate to create a system for online
> OST real time meetings and most people find that it is almost as meeting in
> person, which they actually do. The lack of body language which is most
> important in any conversation, makes it more difficult to collaborate but
> if you at least can hear the voice of the other person, it helps because
> the voice shows so much of how your words are interpreted.That is a problem
> when writing, especially when you, like I do now, write in a foreign
> language.
>
> When we created the OST system for online collaboration, we divided the
> meetings into smaller sessions, no more than 3 hours maximum. People come
> to the first meeting and create the agenda together and they can then use
> the law of two feet and move in and out of sessions as they need to. We
> think the short sessions will make it possible for most people to attend
> and still have time to do the other work they need to at that day. We have
> also created a forum and storage place where reports are stored and
> discussions can continue in written form in between the meetings.
> Prioritizing can easily be made after all the reports are there and then I
> always, in both in-person and online OST meetings, invite people to create
> a new agenda for the action planning instead of converging etc. They
> converge the reports in their heads while reading and reflecting. And we
> have an introduction course for people not familiar with discussions in
> online environment and they are not so few as one might think.
>
> You can take a look at what we have done at www.collaborativeways.com. I
> think that the OST version in written format you mention could be
> OST-Online which Gaby Ender created some years ago. It is still a real time
> meeting version and from my experience the combination of real time
> meetings and writing in forums in between could be what works best.
