Organize courses, research groups and conferences - for free."

co-meeting is a text-based group discussion tool. This live-typing chat tool lets you have a conversation that can also deliver the "atmosphere" which was impossible to share with your participants using traditional chat tools, and also lets you take meeting minutes during a discussion by using the document editor with the real-time concurrent editing ability. Because everything is done through texting, you can have discussions without constraint by time and location and make innovative changes in your meeting style for your teams that suffer from wasteful conferences.

The "flipped classroom" was being discussed in social lounges, in conference sessions, on the exhibit floor, on the hashtag and even at dinner. People wanted to know what it was, what it wasn't, how it's done and why it works. Others wanted to sing its praises and often included a vignette about how it works in their classroom and how it transformed learning for their students. Still others railed that the model is nothing transformative at all and that it still emphasizes sage-on-the-stage direct instruction rather than student-centered learning. I engaged in a few of these discussions offline and online, and while I'm still on the fence about my feelings toward the model, I can offer some insight and interpretation."
