Abstract:

A structure of an interactive collaboration session is generated. The structure is typically based on an activity defined by a leader of the interactive collaboration session. The structure of the interactive collaboration session comprises different levels. For example, the structure of the interactive collaboration session may contain hierarchical levels that include top level items to discuss, a secondary level for responses to top level items, and a tertiary level for responses to the secondary level items. The structure of the interactive collaboration session is displayed to the leader. The leader controls the participants' display of the structure of the interactive collaboration as the interactive collaboration session progresses. For example, the leader may click on a button that disables the participants' ability to make comments during one part of the interactive collaboration session. Later, the leader can click on a button to enable the participants to make comments.

Abstract:

In an interactive collaboration session, different items of the interactive collaboration session are identified. For example, different agenda items or comments made during the collaboration session can be identified. A leader can use a tag tray to configure which tag types will be made available to the participants of their session, and how those tags will behave. A participant in the interactive collaboration session can provide input to apply a tag to an item during the interactive collaboration session. In response to the input to apply the tag to the item, context information is associated with the item. For example, a participant can indicate that they like a particular comment. A participant can use a context frame to the selected item. In response to applying tags to the individual item, information is generated to display the applied tag information to the leaders and participants of the interactive collaboration session.
