Group Discussions
A group discussion is an open conversation amongst a group (segment) of participants. The discussion is led by the project moderator and contributed to by multiple participants. It is an interactive discussion designed to stimulate debate surrounding a particular topic/s.
Use our ‘group’ or ‘open’ question features to structure your discussion. Create questions to start conversations and encourage participants to comment on each others posts to stimulate debate. Use our reply feature to moderate discussions accordingly. Run multiple group discussions simultaneously and use our Spotlight feature to focus on particular groups/individuals to help with segmentation analysis.
