Hi Bui/OS-list

Sorry for late answer – been a little busy and forgot J

We pay 5000 USD for 10 licenses. There are some much more expensive ones like when we checked Webex and also cheaper ones. But this is the best for our needs. We made quite some research although things develop quickly…

This is the most user friendly, has the tools we need, is possible to make self managed for the user and also it has proven to be reliable – as long as participants do their “homework” preparing and making sure they have the software – and no firewalls blocking.

All the best

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Looks like this software has just the right amount of options that I have been looking. (Looks better than last time I checked it out). Unfortunately, the website does not mention anything about pricing. How do you find the pricing in comparison with other options?

Thanks,

Bui

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: 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.

Cheers

Thomas Herrmann

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
