This digital version of a pin-up space is absolutely an improvement to my workflow. The input is so robust. What you do with it is where the magic happens. This program is best suited for team collaboration. It helps to discuss how/where the team will contribute information to it--whether that is discussing the templates or a plan of action. Otherwise, the workspace can tend to get messy. I like the idea of having a presentation mode, where some of the markups could be hidden. The idea of a working session with consultants or clients sounds appealing, but at the same time, there is a desire for a cleaned up, clear shareout.Incentivized
I think it is well-suited for populations who value social media and being connected in this manner at work. If the population does not value this type of open interaction, it will be underutilized. Many of our baby-boomer generation staff have a hard time seeing the relevancy of a site such as this.Incentivized
Allows for a high volume of images and sketches to be put into the canvasLets you drop in text, freehand sketching, and shapes quick and easyCan connect images and texts together using connectors, which can be customizedIncentivized
I think it helps people crowd source an organization for information and resources that may not be easily found.The subjects feature is a great place to develop communities of practice where links, files and communication can be shared.As long as the search engine is optimized / working effectively, it can be a powerful way to access sites and resources across the organization.Incentivized
You can use Zoom with Bluescape but it requires solid bandwidth and memory by users.A breadcrumb trail would be nice to watch students performance.I would like individual user analytics for each of my students to see where they’ve been and what contributions each has made.Incentivized
The profile finder is glitchy and rarely comes up with solid results.The site sometimes has glitches, such as subject pages not loading and complete content not appearing on the screen until you refresh or give it an abnormal amount of time to load.The "USAID Search" option should appear first for the search results. It is not intuitive that it is the last search option to select. Often users don't even clearly recognize that they need to select types of search results.Incentivized
We have Workware installed on different computers in our office that were supposed to be great for presentation but we had issues after a user connected their laptop then they no longer had access to our server. If they had files they needed for the presentation they had to save them to their desktop to make sure they were accessible.Incentivized
Especially in a remote work environment, Bluescape helps us continue collaborating without missing a beatIncentivized
I feel that it has connected colleagues who would have never met in our global organization.I has created a division in the organization between the users and those who oppose its existence.It has been a great place for communication-oriented departments to get their messages out, advertise events, etc.Incentivized
