Increasing the effectiveness of teleconferencing through graphic meeting recording

Visual Telefacilitation combines three ideas: first, there is the idea of a facilitator, a person whose explicit social role is to help the group process. Next the visual element is added, an explicit text-graphic record of the meeting generated in real time by the facilitator to help the task group keep track of the discussion content. And then, finally, the visual facilitation technique is applied to distributed groups engaged in teleconferencing. Taken all together, the result is Visual Telefacilitation, or VTF for short.
