Recording and reviewing the workshop

Use of CoMADO as a personal memo in the field

Typical Duration: 2 days (during the workshop period) Typical # of Participants: 1 person

I had a plan to write a blog post about the workshop from the standpoint of an instructor who organized the workshop, so I recorded the workshop participants' work processes, presentations, and other aspects of the event and what I found interesting in CoMADO during the workshop. 3 weeks later, based on the recordings loaded on the Miro board, I and with two other instructors reflected on the workshop and discussed our learnings and findings from the instructor's perspective.

Why Choose CoMADO

  • The recorded data visualized chronologically on the Miro board reflected the subjective concerns of the recorder, but at the same time captured the highlights of the workshop, making it possible to look back on the entire 8-hour workshop in a short time.
  • Although three weeks had passed before the review was conducted, a glance at the recorded data on the Miro board immediately evoked memories of the workshop, and we were able to immediately enter into essential discussions without any memory gaps.
  • The CoMADO data, which discretely recorded the interests of the recorders, in a good sense interpolated the experience with the memories of the people who viewed the data, making it easier to recall memories and later discussions more lively.

Comment

CoMADO is a tool designed for multiple participants online, but it is also suitable for one person to use CoMADO as a field memo. Since images and notes can be loaded in chronological order on the Miro board, it seems easy to look back on them later as one's own digital notebook.
