Go Digital: Toss Pin Boards and Flip Charts Digital Moderation - Experience Active Meetings

摘要

Even nowadays, the facilitation of workshops and meetings is still typically based on archaic tools: shaky pin boards with flip chart paper, felt-tip pens, visualization cards and various adhesive or magnetic symbols. Now there is an alternative to these antiquated communication processes and intensive time investments: The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD is now offering Digital Moderation, its market-ready digital solution designed in close cooperation with professional facilitators for facilitating business workshops. Digital Moderation improves the effectiveness and efficiency of meetings by combining proven facilitation methods with the innovative possibilities of networked computers. It eases the planning and execution of events, as well as the evaluation, visualization and processing of results. It helps organize and facilitate events, from small work-shops with 5 participants up to large meetings with 500 people, as well as support the e-moderation of virtual workshops over the Internet.
