Hi all,
Bit slow reaction to this question: do you know Synthetron? Check out www.synthetron.com. I think this is a tool with a lot of possibilities. Participants can join an on line discussion session, where they give their own input and also react to input of others. Based on that shared views (synthetrons) are defined by the group itself. In the Research center Facilitating change and implementation dynamics from prof dr Thijs Homan out of the Open University in the Netherlands, we also use Synthetron in combination with a tool to map informal networks and face-to-face follow-up sessions. Let me know if you want to know more. And no, I do not have any commercial stake in this tool ;-) Best regards, Rob Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Thomas Herrmann Verzonden: zondag 12 februari 2012 22:56 Aan: 'Bui Petersen'; 'World wide Open Space Technology email list' Onderwerp: Re: [OSList] Virtual Open Space 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 Från: Bui Petersen [mailto:[email protected]] Skickat: den 30 januari 2012 03:13 Till: [email protected]; World wide Open Space Technology email list Ämne: Re: [OSList] Virtual Open Space 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?

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-Collabor ate/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 wont 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.
