Confer – Three steps to consensus for working groups

Public Group Active 6 years, 5 months ago

Thu, Dec 10 2015, 3:30pm – 4:00pm

Description

Learning Layers’ is focused on scaling up technologies for Informal Learning in SME Clusters. A particular domain of study is the Healthcare, where we have identified that providing support to bridge between f2f and online discussions by workgroups is needed: guidelines and pathways have to be understood, interpreted and implemented according to local needs; this is why it is common for workgroups to be set-up to review new guidelines and come up with proposals for implementation. Key issues: to ensure that the exchange of knowledge is not lost; keeping the work focused and flowing. Confer provides an online collaboration spaces for working groups that can be used both synchronously as well as asynchronously. Confer supports work groups to collaborate on a task or project; helping groups to keep the work focused and flowing, recording the discussions and reasoning along the way and producing a final summary output that can become the first draft of your report or recommendations.
