Dear All,

With growing health concerns around the COVID-19 outbreak and public health advisory,  Social distancing, event cancellations, and employee plans to work remotely is recommended.  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/index.html

Several conferences and events stand cancelled. Around the world many offices are shifting to work from home or  remote locations, may we collect resources and experiences on organising online meeting and keeping ourselves motivated. 

A well known knowledge Management specialist, Nancy White, has collated some resources here. Excellent initiative by her! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NyrEU7n6IUl5rgGiflx_dK8CrdoB2bw...

I invite you to share experiences related:

1. What works in online events? What is a challenge and how have you mitigated them?
2. What is your experience in hosting an online conference?
3. Tools to facilitate  online meetings and Platforms for organising meetings

4. How to work from home without losing one's productivity and life work balance? F

Warmly,

Rituu

Hello all,

I am new to this forum but I am very excited to learn from you all. Thanks for these great resources. I work with SurveyCTO, a mobile data collection platform working with practitioners in international development, education, monitoring and evaluation, impact assessment and evaluation, humanitarian spaces and many others. We did a webinar last month on decentralized data collection, including remote onboarding, training, and accompaniment of enumerators. You can watch it here: https://www.surveycto.com/videos/decentralized-data-collection-webi...
