The terminals are set to host a number of different media for users, for example films, still pictures and audio.

Sometimes we show different media to all participants – for instance a series of commercials. Afterwards we ask the groups or individuals to evaluate them using questions or qualitative feedback.

In addition to this, the terminals also allow participants to record video, take still photos and use audio. This means we can ask groups to carry out a specific task of making a two-minute video and then have other groups vote on the films created.

Making videos at a conference is a very powerful experience as it generates a lot of involvement and energy. Moreover, the competitive element of producing the best video means that people generally put a lot of effort into doing a great job.

When it comes to sharing results, nobody needs to see the inputs of all groups. Generally each group evaluates just three to five films, meaning that only a few particularly interesting contributions are shared in plenum.
