What is it about?
Our work describes methods to engage participants in online discussions taking into account incision and the added difficulty to pass empathy in distance/online environments. Video-conferencing has changed the way we communicate, collaborate and learn online. However, these digital environments do not come naturally to everyone when it comes to active participation. It can be claimed that the video-conferencing tools are not necessarily designed to support inclusion for everyone and in every context where multiple factors can affect participation. We propose methods (and practices), such as choosing the appropriate discussion methods that support participation, adopting practices that enable engagement and meaning-making for supporting inclusion in a video-conferencing learning context

Why is it important?
Allowing inclusion enhances democracy. Enhancing empathy support various people to understand and collaborate.
Perspectives
From our point of view through this paper in the workshop where it was related we received a lot of views and understanding of different challenges in different counties and continents on distance cillabrotion. The method (fishbowl) provided concrete benefits already in one workshop.
