Rubrik: [OSList] Online OST in written form - is it possible?<br>Datum: tis, maj 14, 2013 07:58<br><br></div><br>
<div><font face="Arial">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.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">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.
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">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. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">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. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">You can take a look at what we have done at <a href="http://www.collaborativeways.com" target="_blank">www.collaborativeways.com</a>. 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. </font></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB">Someone has asked
me whether it is possible to do OST solely on the web over a prolonged period
of time (say 3 months) with people coming in and adding their thoughts now and
again as their time permits? His challenge is a wide variety of stakeholders
who will not be able to meet – not even hold a “normal” web-OST, because they
won’t be able to be present at the same time. It is not a huge group and
therefore unlikely that someone would happen to be online all the time, so it
would have to be a written OST. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB">Has anyone tried
that? – A written, online OST running over a couple of
months?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

about a programme designed to do OST on the web – what is that called and
would it work for a “written” OST? <u></u><u></u></span></p>
