Dear Mildred,
I would love to give my students the possibility to express
themselves through a combination of text, audio, images and create
a "story" with a creative layout (like a presentation or small
brochure or leaflet). I am wondering if there's a free tool out
there? Not sure if you know one note (MS Teams), something like
this but with a nicer layout and not within MS Teams.

What would you like the storybook tool to do for your community?
For example:
Read out loud?
Create a storybook?
Display a current book??

Re: looking for resources regarding community building in online and onsite community settings such as work, education, religion
#community
#facilitation
#hybrid
Hi Caren
I'm exploring the idea of commons, and commonspace, as a way to frame the sort of hybrid communities you describe ... and in particular how the use of online tools for neighbourhood mutual aid has introduced a lot more people to the potential. So - how do we help develop commonspace for conversation, collaboration etc using a blend of methods and facilitation?
I recently came across the idea of Community of Inquiry (CoI) "as any group of individuals involved in a process of empirical or conceptual??into problematic situations.?"??More here??on how this has worked in practice in various situations.?? ?
I'm looking at the possible use of??the platform that Lorenz has developed. (I'll get back to you shortly Lorenz:-). Sutra works on sets of interlocking circles for discussion and resources that I think could be ideal for a CoI, where people may pursue different strands of inquiry within a common framework.
So the answer to "How can we best facilitate (hybrid) community?" might be set up a community of inquiry ... or rather circles of inquiry.
Here's an example of Sutra used with other tools??... I'm sure Lorenz can explain the better. I should say I don't have any affiliation.

Re: ISO: zoom captioning recs
Hi Sarah,
I¡¯ve used Rev for their transcript service, and think they are really quite good - they have a fabulous free version - but I didn¡¯t even know they have a captioning service.
Thanks for bringing this question ¡ I¡¯m very interested in this topic as well - I¡¯m researching Zoom caption services and/or plug-ins for a client group I¡¯m working with that has varying English language listening and speaking skills, though they can all read English quite well.
Please share anything you (anyone) have learned here so we can all learn together! Thanks so much.?
Amy

Still on TRIZ, for personal purposes, one cool riff is combining with Troika (TRIZ + Troika) with a punctuation between: Drawing Monsters / Tiny Demons. Then people choose the named ¡®Monster¡¯ to work on Troika.
At least people name 4 things to work on (STOP), and get one broke down with the support from colleagues. It is fun, and productive.

First, here are some TRIZ online resources - incomplete but we are working on them!?
?and some templates from this Spring?
Second, TRIZ is about figuring out what to STOP doing. Stop doing can be individual or collective. The things to stop doing are real, not imaginary or "possibly" real. They are REAL!?
Third, I tried to do TRIZ fast online and yes, I needed to slow it down. The "1" phase can be just giving people 1-2 minutes to jot down ideas. Then into their groups and compile ideas with 1-2 people taking notes into GDoc, or slide, or whatever. Then they tick off the things that they actually do that contribute towards the failure. that can be 10 minutes or so depending on the complexity of the context. If it is very complex, more time. If the breakout groups identify what to stop doing, that is faster than trying to compile to the whole group and then just compare the final prioritized selection(s) for each group. But be realistic about the number of things you can immediately stop doing. :-)
Online, TRIZ is really fun to do. You can put the ideas for stopping doing on a Google slide, then in Zoom do a screen share and use the stamping tool (annotation) to get people to indicate what they want to stop doing. If their "stamps" are all over the place, that creates a different discussion than if they all felt they should stop a few, similar things.?
But as I write this, I really want to drill down a bit more on your purpose for doing this.? Tell us more about what you want to accomplish?
HI Ruth,?
I'm going to speak to your second question.? I think the groups should choose their top ideas, so that they can?explore and implement these ideas first.? They can record and address the other ideas later.??
However, I think the real question is, what is a group's criteria for calling an idea a "top idea"?? It might be worth exploring what they want the ideal solution (or result or end situation) to look like, before doing TRIZ.? Then the groups can discuss how each idea would get them closer to that ideal.

Re: looking for resources regarding community building in online and onsite community settings such as work, education, religion

Hi Caren - this is a great inquiry that I've been doing a lot of work around for the last 10 years.? There is a huge territory around how to create more structured communities of practice and communities that somehow engage in learning and knowledge building together.? I'm one of the founders behind Sutra.co and this has been the kind of work we've been developing around since 2015.? We've worked with communities out of Harvard, UNICEF, and even Burning Man.? Happy to share what we've learned if you're interested.? Just email me: lorenz@....

There are other models where students or workers learn or work together or collaborate asynchronously.???
I am wondering what kind of research and practice is being done with a community lens for these types of models. How can we best facilitate community?

Thank you Lucas - your platform is really awesome as well allowing people to move around! Looking forward to catch up.
@Vanh - not sure where your message went - you asked "would you record the session Kevon?"
I don't think so, but I can share some tutorial videos of Toasty to you so you can get a quick overview. Will send to you!
Happy weekend everyone!?
