During facilitated small-group conversations, facilitators have to manage many tasks, including handling the technology, managing time, following the script, and more. Facilimate is a digital support tool that helps facilitators handle the mechanics of facilitating a conversation (i.e. managing time and following a conversation guide). We applied a user-centered design approach to create Facilimate, which involved getting feedback from facilitators while brainstorming, concept sketching, wireframing and implementing.
This is an ongoing project! Our next step is to evaluate Facilimate using the Local Voices Network platform.
