Teams and Zoom are wildly different!?

The description of doing it in Zoom is good. Personally I would do it with Qiqochat wrapped around Zoom, and ass in Wonder or Spatial Chat to create corridor tracks.?


judy Rees, my wife and business partner, ran her furst open space online unconference 6 years ago, when everybody said it was impossible. It isn¡¯t! Metaphorum celebrates it¡¯s 6th year on Dec 4th, already in Zoom, this is the first time in Qiqochat.?


In Teams the biggest challenge is going to be access. If they are ALL in the system, not visitors, I think you can hack it. If they are non system members then you are likely to have quite a nightmare!

love to hear how it goes

Depending on the amount of participants that will be voting maybe Stormz can help, it can track the whole voting process as well.

Hope you can find your holy tech grail for this engagement!

Poll questions are put up and individuals annotate their responses with a stamp. Definitely not "high tech" but worked surprisingly well. Prof who demonstrated said they have used it for undergrad classes with enrolment in excess of 500 with good success. Responses could be screen captured themselves and tabulated afterwards.

Slack is another?option that can leveraged in a number of ways, that might be useful/worth a look.

Good luck with it!?

Hi,

A few years ago, at a non-profit where I served on the board, we happily used ElectionBuddy for running board elections at our annual member meeting (<$100 for <1,000 participants). Supports anonymous voting, election audit and other key e-voting features (which some of the other tools mentioned so far may not have):


There are other providers in the e-voting space, some of which may be listed here:?

Hi Annie-

?

I¡¯m very cognizant of coming off as sales-y or as if I¡¯m pitching our products unsolicited, so please excuse me if my reply lands wrong. But customers regularly leverage our technology () for your use case - specifically, main room/event + voting by participants (also breakout groups, if/when needed) all in one platform, launched directly within browser - so I'm sharing in case we can help.

?

Whereas zoom polling is binary and only those participants joining through their computer can submit their vote, our platform has virtual "hand raise" polling choices 1-5 and participants can submit their?votes through computer OR phone.?

?

Polls can be created on the fly (according to one of our independent facilitator friends, this is "worth its weight in spades"), and results of the vote can be shown live in real time during the event. The data can be saved and csv exported during the event and/or post-event (and/or we can use our database as a backup for vote tallying).?

?

And if you really wanna geek out and get creative, you can put your participants into breakouts based on those vote results.?

?

Happy to share more/set you up with a quick demo if you think it might work for you.

?

My email is julian@....?

Thanks for letting me share.?

Hi Sara,
I experienced A very well done OS in which a google doc was used to collaboratively set the agenda/topics then have individuals sign up for each discussion. This was done by popping the emergent topic headings and times into a table which individuals then browsed through and put their names into. Below the table were corresponding links to separate zoom meetings 1 per room, with lots of extras to allow for many topics, maybe one for hallway conversations). These Meeting spaces were set to go as long as needed by the discussions. People could use their two feet to move between zoom meetings. Google docs were used in each room as flip charts. The tricky part is to remind people to watch the time so they remember to rejoin the plenary space when scheduled at end of day. It was helpful to have a back channel to send reminders about logistics and plenary. We were all on a WhatsApp group and used group texts for this. Facilitators also popped into zoom meeting spaces with reminders as needed. Plenary stayed open in case someone was struggling to find their way. Lots of support was key.?

Good luck! ?
Nancy?

Hi there,

Does anyone has experience with doing an Open Space in Teams?

For example, let's say my client only sends out one link from the organization as the plenary.

Can I prepare different links from my own accont (as external member) as break-out rooms?

This way I do not have to 'bother' the organization in creating more links and can still have people go to different rooms?

Thanks in advance for your tips and tricks :)

I recommend Slido. Free version and paid upgrade if needed. Can run quizzes, polls, create word clouds and share results live on screen (or switch results off if you don¡¯t want people to see them). Can vote via phone or computer and we have been using this successfully in our training for a few weeks now.
