The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education has created a More than a Meeting™ platform to promote active engagement and support in advancing learning with, from and about one another. This unique platform was designed with a focus on adult learning principles and includes an integrated technology interface that allows an individual to:
- Plan a personal learning experience in advance by creating My Personal Schedule. Simply click any session to curate a personal collection of sessions important to you.
- Advanced search functions to customize your learning with a fully searchable, indexed and organized repository of themes, key words, authors, organizations and search terms
- Theme-based learning facilitated by content experts using reflective, learning guides
- Content experts serving as track leaders, or guides, will facilitate discussions and stimulate thinking, all within the context of the themes being addressed.
- Discussion boards to share your ideas and pose questions to deepen the dialogue among Summit attendees
The More than a Meeting™ platform is programmed to replicate features of a face-to-face meeting: poster sessions; short presentations, or “lightning talks”; seminars and workshops; and plenary sessions. The platform integrates different technologies for a comprehensive experience: Zoom, Flipgrid, the National Center Nexusipe.org Resource Center and a powerful search engine that indexes content by words rather than titles. Presenters can independently upload their sessions using a variety of video technologies. Post-meeting archival services with fully searchable features allow learning to extend beyond the live meeting. Unlike traditional face-to-face meetings, participants can extend their learning asynchronously and continue to communicate via discussion boards and/or personalized messages.

What are people saying about the More than a Meeting™ Platform
“I’ve looked at a lot of meeting platforms for online meetings and none offer the interactive experience you provided. I especially love the poster session. It was exactly what I would imagine but haven’t been able to find in any other product.”
