Working together online means doing without what a shared room takes care of in passing, and gaining what it cannot offer: participants from many countries, work at one’s own pace, a trace of every contribution.
This is where cooperation.law places its emphasis. The reasons are set out on the page “Online and on site”.
The pages in this section are practical. They say what has proved itself and explain why. The general questions, how cooperation succeeds and how law gives it a constitution, are dealt with under Phases, Law and Understanding. The phase and law pages each have their own section on this; the pages under Understanding show their ideas in examples online.
Foundations
- Good practice for working together online: six principles, from trust to handling disruption, each explained and illustrated.
- Synchronous and asynchronous: which work should happen at the same time, which should not, and how to find a good rhythm between the two.
- Online and on site: what works particularly well online, what works particularly well on site, and how to combine them.
Practice
- Live online: sound, picture, roles: preparing and leading sessions live online, from the microphone to the closing round.
- Meeting online regularly: how connection across borders holds up in everyday life, in a family, among friends, in a small circle.
Perspective
- Misconceptions about online cooperation: common assumptions, examined calmly.
- Cases: a growing collection of online cooperation, each with what holds it together and what law contributes.
