Experimenting in and with wonder.me

On 25 March 2021, participants met to try out the interactive platform Wonder (www.wonder.me). The event began on Zoom, with the entire group then moving to Wonder. They used a variety of methods to learn about its functions and the system overall, to play around with the tool, and to discuss the benefits and limitations of Wonder.

Wonder is a communication tool that provides a two-dimensional space (visually, too) in which people, or rather their avatars, can move towards each other to form a virtual/visual group known as a Circle. It offers a video and audio function, and each Circle has its own chat. The two-dimensional nature of the platform means participants can see where the others are and can join a Circle by moving their avatar to that Circle.
