Workspace Example: Synthesize Sessions/Workshop

Full-Group Report-Out/Synthesis:

• Big ideas from the whole group of participants
• Or big ideas from small group leaders for particular sessions
• Can add a discussion thread at the bottom of the page to invite other ideas by given date/time
• This also allows participants to add to others' ideas or to express disagreement with more controversial big ideas
• These ideas can be rewritten for the website and workshop report write up

Next Steps

• This section can be used to list next steps for participants to disseminate results and propagate others to take action.
• Ideas include:
• organizing a session at a national conference wherein several participants are encouraged to present
• a plan of action for writing up discussions and outcomes for publication in journals or creating new web content
• ideas for partnering with other groups with a joint vision or mission
• Note: it is highly recommended to assign at least 1 person to manage each 'next step.' They can act as coordinator or point person for questions and can tasked with taking action to ensure the next step gets implemented.
