NextNow meetings and events were frequently augmented by Eileen Clegg’s Visual Insight documentation techniques. (This started, to my knowledge, in that second or third NN meeting at Fort Mason, where the World Cafe process was used, and Eileen drew one of her murals based on meeting content. See photo to left.) The last NN collaboration for Eileen was the 2015 meetings I previously mentioned (photo to right – one of the discussion tables at one of these events).

At the beginning of a meeting there might be a long horizontal paper unrolled across the wall. Eileen would, from start of meeting, begin sketchhng out words, clouds, little people, relationships, all the way thru the end of the meeting. These murals served as conceptual records of the meetings — embedding not only ideas, but interrelationships. Particularly relevant to NextNow was her Engelbart mural, viewable on VisualInsight.net
In the 1970s, as a part of my
I was alerted to the presence online of a transcript of an “online computer conference” I organized in late 1973 when I was a professor at Northwestern University, and running my project called Computers And Teaching [CAT]. Murray Turoff, who was with the (US) Office of Emergency Preparedness had been running conferences limited to government participants, and Bob Johansen (while a graduate student) and I got the idea of doing a conference that would combine physical presence and remote presence, which we held in November, 1973. The PLATO-IV system, of course, had included its own internal online conferencing (serving maybe a couple thousand people at the time), but that was limited to people with PLATO terminals. Our goal was to expand conferencing well beyond that group by using an interactive system I had built.
