This exploratory study reports on the use of an online tool to map the collective

intelligence of 25 European projects during an international event organised

by the ENGAGE team.

Eight maps were created. Evidence from notes,

comments and interviews indicated that LiteMap helps the community evaluate the debate, structure reports and

visualise key issues for extending the discussion with new maps. These interactive maps can be used as OER in

blogs, courses and workshops.

Used to identify key components in the debate

BenefitsInitially, mappers found synchronous mapping of live discussions difficult.

However, after the event, they used the analytics visualisation to identify

gaps and notes from reporters to update their

maps.

Challenges

Used to identify most popular issues

In each group:

• Facilitator focused on objectives • Mapper created maps with LiteMap. • Recorder transcribed the debate • Reporter presented outcomes• Curator captured interesting links • Analyst elaborated the analysis
