During this webinar, Giuseppe Leone, project manager of the ACR Hawaii project Virtual Mediation Lab, shows how parties:

>> Can now participate in an online mediation not only with a PC or Mac, but also with their Ipad, Iphone, Android smart phone
>> Can have joint and private sessions – as they do in face-to-face mediation
>> Can share online virtually any kind of information: pictures, pdf documents (e.g. invoices, estimates, payment receipts), Excel worksheets (e.g. to simulate what-if scenarios), websites, videos, Powerpoint presentations, wp documents, and an online whiteboard (e.g. to write up an Agreement Draft or the agenda for the next online or face-to-face mediation session)

Leone also explains why in online mediation:

>> Mediation skills and experience are far more important than technology
>> Parties behave differently than when they participate in a face-to-face mediation
>> Mediators need to master whatever software they use
