A different toolset, (e.g. pens and paper
and overhead cameras coupled to projectors), would likely produce better
results if that toolset did not encourage laziness in preparing
materials to facilitate discussion.
[WEG] I don't know about anyone else here, but you do *not* want me to attempt
to facilitate a discussion using freehand drawings and writing. My handwriting
and drawing skill was bad before I discovered a keyboard, and years of atrophy
have made its usefulness approach zero as a meaningful method of communication.
You'd be better off with the aforementioned stone tablets and cuneiform in
terms of understanding.

And I echo what Dave said - quit blaming the tools and assuming that forcing
people to use tools they're not used to using will fix this. You have a very
specific opinion of what an effective WG session should be like and what people
should and should not be doing to facilitate such. Sounds like you need to work
with the EDU team to give a Sunday afternoon training session entitled "how not
to turn a WG session into a broadcast-only medium" possibly with a section for
WG chairs and a section for potential speakers.
