2. Follow the Sessions.

Open the current Session your team is working on from the list below.

3. Within the Session:

Find the step the team is working on, read the instructions carefully, and provide your input.
Remember, you only have a single input for each step.(It is not a Chat!) so be wise with your contributions. They are editable so feel free to add and edit as you like.

4. Contributions have 3 recommended rules to follow:

  • Be Authentic and Creative
  • Add Value
  • If you can’t Add-Value then it should Improve Discussion

5. Use the StickyBoard:

You’ll notice some steps require the use of a StickyBoard, this should already be added to the step and you can click the icon and start to collaborate.

6. Polls:

Some steps require polls to choose the best answer, these should also already be active on the step. The best answer will be voted on and will carry over automatically to the next step.

7. Team lead:

If you are the team leader during the webinar, You are in charge of adding the “FINAL NOTES” on the final step of the session. This will be added, by someone in your team to the final report, which ultimately gets sent to Erasmus and others to see.

FINAL NOTES: This should be the summary of the session that clearly combines all of the work that the team put in. This is very important and should be taken seriously!

8. Have Fun!!!

Nova is meant to inspire you to think critically, so enjoy the process and explore your potential.
