Webscope WikiThis is a featured page


This is a wiki website as used with structured dialogue using SDDP - Structured Dialogic Design Process. For Working in Dialogue sessions, your group's dialogue proceedings will appear on its own site similar to this one. A wiki is a shared space for interaction where every participant can create and edit materials within the designated space of the site. While Wikipedia is perhaps the best known of web-based wikis, a wiki is simply a moderated collaborative text site. If you have not used wikis before, no problem - we have packaged the steps of structured dialogue so that you have guidance at each point of interaction.

Your focus should be on the content of dialogue, and not the process/technology. But every tool is new when first used. There are a few simple steps or rules for using the wiki.

The structure of the site reflects the steps of Structured Dialogue. Notice that the following pages are linked below "Home" is the hierarchy of pages:


A. Discovery

Research of the problem area and initial development of the factors of inquiry.
B. Definition

Dialogue with ALL participants starts with Problem Definition.
C. Design Stage


The Design stage develops an idealized array of solutions to critical problem factors.
D. Action Planning

Action Planning selects design solutions to include in an action plan.

In many, but not all, SDDP dialogues the work conducted by participants follows from the Discovery through Action Planning. While this is the ideal and typical case, not all problems require the full progression from research and definition to action planning. In some cses the defintion, which is equivalent to diagnosis of the problem situation, is adequate.

How the Wiki is used.


All participants use the wiki site as a single community repository for all written statements, for all research and design documents, and for all asynchronous deliverables of Structured Dialogic Design. It is NOT online dialogue per se, since our synchronous dialogue work and learning is conducted via voice interaction. But in each of the four major stages of the SDDP process, the wiki serves as the collaborative meeting space for inputs and feedback from participants. The Wiki is constituted by simple interactions that build upon each other in the page structure.

The basic structures are:

Pages: The pre-existing pages are prepared by the Webscope Facilitation Team. These pages supply the basic instructions for participants, and provide containers for additional content to be added as the dialogue produces collective knowledge and wisdom.

New Pages: During the proceedings, dialogue participants may create new pages within the stages to add new content, and can edit the details within previous pages. Participants with Writer or Moderator privileges can add pages and edit content.

Comments: Any and all pages can be annotated by comments by all participants. The wiki software refers to all
annotation to a Page as comments. In the Websocpe wiki we use "Comments" for several purposes:

  • To collect contributions from ALL participants in certain stages of the dialogue process. All participants will have a login with an associated picture to represent their contributions.
  • To respond to questions based on the structured inquiry. Whenever a Trigger Question is used to initiate dialogue, we use "Comments" for each individual to enter responses.
  • To request or provide clarification to a contribution. Any participant can comment on a comment.
