What is AnswerGarden?
AnswerGarden is an online collaborative brainstorming tool that allows groups to generate ideas and provide feedback anonymously. It works by allowing a moderator to pose an open-ended question and participants can anonymously submit answers or suggestions.
Some key features of AnswerGarden include:
- Anonymity - Participants can submit ideas without attribution which facilitates more open idea sharing.
- Group Brainstorming - It's designed specifically for group idea generation and feedback.
- Custom Questions - Moderators can create customized open-ended questions to fit the specific brainstorming needs.
- Structured Responses - Answers submitted are displayed in a structured format grouped by question for easy browsing and voting.
- Voting - Participants can upvote/downvote others' answers allowing stronger ideas to emerge.
- Available Online - As a web application, AnswerGarden allows remote and in-person groups to collaborate.
Ideal uses cases include brainstorming sessions, feedback surveys, team building activities, open discussions and more. The anonymity allows participants to be more creative and honest with their perspectives. The tool aggregates responses so strongest ideas can bubble up through group voting.
