What is the backchannel?
The backchannel is the conversation that goes on alongside the primary activity, presentation, or discussion.

Embracing the backchannel can turn it from distraction to engagement. Participants can learn from each other and share their insights, improving participation and deepening learning. TodaysMeet enables instant formative assessment, feedback, and much more.
