I have several upcoming events for which I’m searching for good online means for finding patterns, making visible what’s emerging. This is the end of the event, where people have been in different breakout groups and we’re coming towards a close.

In F2F, I’d be using some sort of clustering activity, where people write something on 8.5x11 paper and move around to find others with a similar theme to form clusters that work together on expressing the idea(s) of their cluster.

Or I’d use?, a great form of f2f crowdsourcing.

The best I’ve come up with so far for online is using something like Jamboard for people to generate post-its and cluster them. Then form breakout groups to work the clusters.

Does anyone have approaches they suggest?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Peggy
