Re: [OSList] number of breakout groups

I’ve always found that the number of topics get named for roughly 10 people per group, with slightly smaller groups (more topics) when the total group size is smaller and slightly larger when the total is larger. Jennifer Hurley Hurley-Franks & Associates 267-971-4598 Sent from my iPhone > On

[OSList] number of breakout groups

Hello all A number of years ago I seem to remember a resource shared on this list that calculated an average number of breakout groups that tended to show up according to the total number of participants based on the cumulated experience of this community. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I
