Advice on digital platform for community collaboration


amalia deloney
 

Colleagues

I'm looking to invest in a new platform for next year, for the online workshops I have been doing.? As background, most of the workshops are for adult learners, who are grassroots or neighborhood community leaders.? Setting aside the inherent challenges with internet access/digital literacy, I think I (and they) are ready to move on from Zoom?+ Mural/Slido, etc. configurations and go deeper.?

Core features we need:? Video, polling, breakout rooms, shared note-taking, white-boards, voting,

I realize these are not apple to apple comparisons, and that whatever I choose may not be a forever solution.? That said, I would like to select one to master and introduce to the groups I work with in 2022.??

I am eager to hear your thoughts/advice on any of the following.? If there was ONE you would invest time and money in, which would it be.? Or am I way off base?

Are you assuming that the courses are synchronous?? And are you assuming there is a single tool that has all of the features that you list built in?

Have you been able to get the Miro/Zoom integration to work?

Have you be able to get the zoom built in white board to work for you?

Does the zoom polling work for you? If not, why not?

Have you been able to manage your voting with a google form in a meaningful way?

I have a database of over 100 video tools. I am not clear that any of them have all of the features you have in a single tool.?

If you could put a little more detail on the boundaries, I would love to hear more about them.?

Amalia

I have been highly?impressed by Howspace and I have been successfully?using it to host a learning community for a startup company I have created and several events I host, with communities up to 500 and more participants.?

If you want to have a peak, let me?know I would be happy to show you what I have.?

On the other hand I have wrote a recent article here on the video collaboration landscape.




@John?Sechrest, I am curious to know more about your database?with video tools. I have a LinkedIn group on Digital Tools for Virtual?Collaboration and would be pleased to invite you and share it with our?+800 members.?


Happy season!

Hello Paul,?

The video tools spreadsheet is making slow progress.

You can see it here:?

It is making slow progress.?

In general, I am finding that there is no single solution that works for most scenarios. You end up patching different tools together to make a program work.?

I am looking for the kinds of features that people want, and then trying to identify which tools meet which set of needs.
