Playing with Vyew

In my current Online Facilitation Workshop we are playing with the free web meeting tool, Vyew. We did our Friday chat (sans audio) today to play with it. One of the features is that you can publish a recording of a meeting and I wanted to try and see how it looks. Here it is!



One of the activities we did was an online variant of something I learned from Gunnar at AspirationTech, "Land or Sea" (aka Spectrogram) I think it worked well in the web meeting environment. We put up the "line" on the shared whiteboard, then asked the question. People then put their names along the continuum. We then discussed (in this case using the chat window) our responses. People could move their names along the line if their views changed during the discussion. It was pretty cool and very interactive.

We also talked about the value of having audio or not in this exercise. Lots of food for thought!
