Chat

Chat may be the basis of communication. If you are working time shifted or have a preference for writing-based communication, a chat can also play the leading role. Otherwise, chatting is a great way to supplement voice communication by providing a great advantage: automatic documentation of what is really important.

CAI^® World chats also benefit greatly from the content based nature of the formats surrounding them: Questions prepared by experts, validated and target-oriented, are available for selection at the click of a mouse. They offer orientation, inspiration - and simply save typing work. Depending on the edition selected, the question sets can also be extended to include your own questions and texts. Of course, the questions and texts are only a suggestion - and can be individually adapted before sending.

Chats can be used as a stand-alone tool in a session, but can also be displayed together with the other graphical tools. So the question sets suitable for the current process phase can also be used directly in the other tools.

Whiteboard

The whiteboard can be used in many ways for the development, structuring and visualization of topics, thoughts and contents. The areas of application are therefore comparable with real flipcharts, presentation boards and whiteboards. In a direct comparison, these are some of the advantages:

• Location independence (online)
• Automatic saving of the results, copies of intermediate results can be stored at any time
• Large selection of already prepared drawing elements and symbols (creativity, visual facilitation)
• Dynamic working method due to always guaranteed easy changeability of all elements

Bildergalerie

Die Bildergalerie enthält verschiedene wählbare Bilder. Beispielsweise kann ein Bild gewählt werden, dass den Ist-Zustand repräsentiert um darauf aufbauend die Situation genauer zu analysieren und einen Soll-Zustand herzuleiten. Hierzu stehen neben verschiedenen Hintergrundgrafiken verschiedenfarbige Text-Kärtchen und Bildelemente zur Verfügung.

Identitätskarte

Die „Identitätskarte“ ist ein exklusives Tool im Format Laufbahnberatung. Auf den vier Quadranten kann festgehalten werden, was die eigene Identität ausmacht. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Eigenschaften und Kompetenzen, Interessen, Motive, Werte usw. Hierzu stehen verschiedenfarbige Textkärtchen und Bildelemente zur Visualisierung zur Verfügung.

Entwicklungslinie

Die „Entwicklungslinie“ ist ein exklusives Tool im Format Laufbahnberatung. In das Koordinatensystem kann eingezeichnet werden, wie sich die Zufriedenheit einer Person in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen entwickelt hat bzw. wie die Zufriedenheit engeschätzt wird z.B. im privaten Umfeld oder auch im beruflichen Kontext. Hierzu stehen ein Zeichenstift in verschiedenen Farben, verschiedenfarbige Textkärtchen und Bildelemente zur Visualisierung zur Verfügung.

Präsentation

Das Tool ermöglicht die Verwaltung und Anzeige von Dokumenten. Auf diesem Weg können eigene Materialien und Unterlagen gemeinsam in der Sitzung betrachtet werden.

Dokumente sind in diesem Zusammenhang z.B. PDF-Dateien, Bilder oder Office-Dokumente. Diese Dokumente können aus bereits auf dem Server gespeicherten Dateien ausgewählt werden, oder neu zur Dokumentenbibliothek hinzugefügt werden.

Desktop sharing

You can use desktop sharing to transfer the contents of your own screen to the other session participants ("Screen Sharing"). If you do not want to share the entire screen, you can select a single window. The other people in the session can see the selected region (screen or window) directly.

With this option further applications can be integrated into the session. This enables, for example, training with external programs, in which the session participants should get to know a work sequence. Desktop sharing can also be used to allow a person to capture thoughts that have been worked out together in an external window. All session participants then may provide further input, for example via voice communication.

The transmission of screen content is based on WebRTC technology and does not require separate software installation. Similar system requirements as for the transmission of camera and microphone are required. Additional requirements arise for the browser of the sharing person: here Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox must be used, because Apple Safari only supports viewing, not sharing.

To-do list

Actions, measures and to-do's can be managed in the to-do list. Compared to the whiteboard, the individual tasks offer extended possibilities for entering information in a structured way. An editor can be used to keep longer results formatted. The assignment of the person in charge and the priority, among other things, also makes it possible to filter the list. In order not to miss any appointments, the due date can also be used to notify the person in charge if the task has not yet been completed by the scheduled date.

The to-do list has a special significance compared to the other tools: The entries recorded here are also available to the group in other sessions. This makes the to-do list an ideal link between individual sessions. In subsequent sessions, the open items can provide an excellent starting point for further work.
