I'm teaching "Online Dispute Resolution: The State of the Art" at my alma mater, UMass-Boston, on Wednesday, June 13th, right before eBay Live the next day.
Here's the description from the UMass-Boston website:
"Online Dispute Resolution [ODR] is the hottest area of the ADR field right now. But it is still in its infancy, and there are many questions about how and when to apply ODR to disputes. Do the rules of offline ADR apply to ODR? How does technology change the equation? Can ODR be effective when parties are not looking into the other side’s eyes? How can offline neutrals best translate their skills online? How can ODR compliment ADR?
In this Seminar we’ll examine the development of ODR, think through some of the new challenges it poses to neutrals and systems designers, and look at the major providers, administrative agencies, and international organizations currently involved. We’ll also get to try out state-of-the-art ODR technologies through a series of simulations, and to begin to wrestle with the challenges of providing effective dispute resolution online."
