Patterns for technology enhanced meetings

Computer technology has evolved to a stage where it is available everywhere and every time - even in meetings. The pattern language presented in this paper sheds light on how to make use of technology when preparing and conducting a meeting. We collected advice both on social practices of good meetings as well as on implications for technology support in meetings. These patterns are illustrated by three different application areas, namely meetings in commercial contexts, meetings in the context of learning that are often referred to as group learning, and meetings in the context of committees in a non-governmental organizations.
