We have very good experiences with it the last year, much more reliable than other softwares we’ve tried.
I can hardly remember any problems that were not related to participants not preparing enough before, and by making sure they do we do hardly have any tech issues – but of course you need a reliable connection. All the best THomas Från: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Skickat: den 30 januari 2012 00:01 Till: [email protected]; World wide Open Space Technology email list Ämne: RE: [OSList] Virtual Open Space We used Blackboard at Saybrook for on-line classes and absolutely hated it. It kept collapsing on us and was difficult to navigate. We switched to Moodle a couple of years ago. I don't care for Moodle either, though. Sococo looked really nice.

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: <http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Collaborate/Products/Blackboard-Collaborate/whats-new/At-A-Glance.aspx> http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Collaborate/Products/Blackboard-Collaborate/whats-new/At-A-Glance.aspx 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.

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.
