In response to LO2475 from Rick Karash
>One of the features touted in electronic meeting support systems is
Anonymity. That is, where each participant can add their ideas, comments,
and evaluations anonymously.
The purpose of this feature in electronic meeting support is to be able to
quickly collect reactions, opinions, ideas, etc. of all participants in a
group setting, without social status attribution. Ideally, an
organization can have open communciation, with input from all equally
valued. But, if you know who gave a reaction, opinion, idea, etc. I think
we can not help but to place our filters about that person on their ideas.
Electronic meeting support simply removes that information, so the IDEAS
can be evaluated, not the person. It's really a neat feature.
