From F2F to Virtual
Virtual Collaboration is significantly different
from Real-World Meetings
● Asynchronous Discussions - no immediate
reaction
● No Mimics, only written
● People (can) take breaks to think, research,
calm down
● Possible hidden communication channels

5. © salzburgresearch Jakob Frank, Thomas Kurz“VaKE and Beyond”, 01.07.2015, Salzburg, Austria
From F2F to Virtual
● Technical Skills matter
● No ad-hoc scribbling
● Finding the right place
● Fixed workflow
Virtual does not work for everyone!

Challenges
Technical
● Fast development cycles - always
updating (security)
● User training
(participants & trainers)
● Continuous support required

29. © salzburgresearch Jakob Frank, Thomas Kurz“VaKE and Beyond”, 01.07.2015, Salzburg, Austria
Challenges
Non-Technical
● Entrance Barrier - users not familiar with
the online platform
● Change of scope
F2F is synchronous, online asynchronous
● User focus - what are participants doing in
parallel

30. © salzburgresearch Jakob Frank, Thomas Kurz“VaKE and Beyond”, 01.07.2015, Salzburg, Austria
Outlook
● Use new communication channels
○ WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger
○ Skype / Hangout for video conferences
● Ubiquitous access
○ App for Smartphones, Tablets
○ Real-Time polls & LUMs
● VaKE for media literacy
