The technology of online meetings is an old one, and so is the history of its application. Flor Avelino explains her experience with Zoom as an emerging innovation in the context of her research on and collaboration with grassroots social movement networks like the Global Ecovillage Network and ECOLISE well before the pandemic hit. Flor approaches virtual meetings as a social innovation over a technical one, and addresses the question of captivating people’s attention through this digital medium and holding space for informal engagement during online webinars. Seemingly counter-intuitively, this means engaging participants away from their screens.
