There are many options for enabling communication and collaboration with your team (employees, contractors, volunteers): in-person meetings, email, Yammer, Office365… and Podio stands out as a remarkable tool. Pollinators and several of our member organisations have been using Podio, and now can’t imagine living without it!
This Peer Learning Session focuses on the merits, challenges and novel uses of Podio, and some discussion in comparison to other ways of organising for different users, audiences and technology skill levels.
Attend if you have some experience in managing or collaborating with a team on Podio, and want to learn from and with other members about effective and advanced use of this platform.
If you are completely new to Podio, we also have free training coming up in November, which is a more in-depth introduction and can help you get started.
There is a discussion thread in our member’s area for conversation pre- and post-session: http://pollinators.org.au/groups/digital-cluster/forum/topic/podio/

Peer Learning Sessions are forums for members to share their ideas, tips, tricks or opinions with other members.
Peer Learning Sessions are:
- Free for members who should RSVP
- Scheduled based on member demand by submissions or via discussions in our online forums
- Lead by members, often with peers who have similar interests or expertise,
- Held at CityHive, BYO food with tea, coffee provided,
- May be documented with a blog or further discussions online to share the learning with those who couldn’t attend.
Peer Learning Sessions are guided by ‘Chatham House Rules‘: “Participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed”
