Amber GriffithsFirst time at a big lecture where they've handed out little bits of paper for people to write their questions instead of having to ask out loud. Love it! So much better. (Also as it is an arts uni of course the 'basic' paper they've used for this is amusingly good quality)
Sarah E Bourne@amberfirefly Solves the "this is more of a comment than a question" problem, too.
@sbourne yup! and even meant I asked a question, which I never ever do at in person talks, because I knew they could just reject it and not answer if they didn't want to :) Made me realise that I don't ask things partly because I don't want to put people on the spot in front of an audience. So it also gives the speaker a bit of paper to read, re-read if they don't understand it the first time, take their time, and make a choice over - which feels so humane.
