 		Collaborative art tool?
Hi All,

I'm putting together a collaborative art project for science engagement together with our engagement team at the uni I work at. It's to bring together researchers, the public, patients, carers, family and clinicians to explore respiratory diseases.

One of the issues that we have is that patients with a particular disease, Cystic Fibrosis, aren't able to meet each other physically due to the risk of cross-infection. They are supposed to be separated in time or space. The result of this is that as a group they have really never been considered or involved in any outreach or engagement activities which is pretty shitty and something I'd like to change.

One of the events we're running is probably going involve collage as the medium - is anyone aware of any tools or approaches that might work to have a group of people present and others remote interacting with one another to collaborate on a collage piece?

Alternatively, any approaches you can think of for achieving interaction and engagement within a group of people who cannot be in the same location in time and space would be brilliant.

Chronic diseases are really isolating and though people with CF are as a community really active, I feel science research and clinical engagement is letting them down. We're also asking patients themselves for input, but with ARGers special skills I was hoping to get some cool ideas.

Thanks Smile

 		A google search on your topic name returns me articles like "7 of the best online collaborative drawing tools" but it's from 2011, and stuff about Slack. A better search term is "multi-user whiteboard" but you might need to pay for access to a professional-grade site.

You were probably asking for people with personal experience of such tools. Years ago, we played iSketch, which is like Pictionary online. Surely such things exist for doing real work.

 		Slack is something that could satisfy real-time chat and file-sharing capabilities.

There are several collaboration apps out there, stuff like Confluence, for example. Jira has whiteboard capabilities, but more for user flow, heat mapping, data visualization by filter.

Google Drive/Docs may provide some of what you need, and it would be free to play with. Real-time chat inside of documents, edit histories, storage for photos, tools to make slide shows and other presentational works.

 		Thank you both, I remember and enjoyed isketch Smile

I think we're going to need to a little bit of development. Slack is a great shout and depending on the nature of the project could be used be everyone, whether or not they were a patient, levelling the field a little. Same with Google Drive. I'll explore further.

Thanks

Mike
