Share information, don't hoard it! Why? My perspective as a consultant & event designer, with support from a 1926 article on the craft of printing.

πŸ€”What happens if you combine an #online event with an '80s gaming feeling?
Well, fun is guaranteed! 🀭

πŸ—“οΈ Last Wednesday, we welcomed our latest #SoftwareCampus participants to the fast growing #CommunitiesOfPractice - as well as some graduates & representatives of our partners such as #Celonis & #DATEV.

πŸ’› Everyone explored the virtual venue on #Gathertown in an interactive way with their self-created avatar while having real-time conversations.

Last year, we added another layer to the #SoftwareCampus program: Connecting our participants and partners research topic wise should broaden collaborations and strengthen the network. Natalia Teixeira Silva set up nine #CommunitiesOfPractice, where now 100 persons are active. Check out our recap piece, which shows what has happened so far and what is to be expected for the next season πŸ‘‰πŸ» softwarecampus.de/en/aktuelles

If you would like to be part of our Communities of Practice, #apply until March 2!

Out of the many things that I love about my job, one of them is that I get to have deep discussions with experts from not just #academia as we work towards building communities of practice. Today, in our Expert Dialogues session for the Digitization project, I learnt so much about human-centered design and design-thinking, something they never taught me when I was a computer science engineering undergrad.

One of the consortium members shared that they'd built this really beautiful app for a rural community in #India, spent a few crore INR in the process, and then no one ended up using it! 😬 I'm glad they are a member of this consortium and were willing to share this so that we don't make the same mistakes! Also learnt that while community members may answer positively to all your survey questions, that doesn't mean they'll actually use whatever digital solution you build - you need to embed yourself within the community and engage in dialogues to get to the crux of the problems they face.

Two of our PhD Fellows are working in the Himalayan region and during the meeting were facing bandwidth issues. Something we definitely need to keep in mind - if we want to design a solution for communities with limited internet connectivity.
