summary Use live collaborative writing to allow multiple writers to collectively write notes during the events
Argumentation Meeting notes are often a tedious work where, most often, notes are taken during the meetin by one person and then cleand up to be sent days or weeks after the meeting.
On the other hand, LIVE COLLABORATING WRITING tools allowing multiple writers to collaboratively write notes during the events offers several advantages :

  • it makes it possible for organizers to share the workload with participants and give them responsability
  • it makes it possible for remote participants to follow the live event
  • the content can be viewed during the event using a VIDEOPROJECTOR for better collaborative writing.
