Loved the intentional distance to allow learners to step up and help peers and also feel some ownership. <br /><br />My experience is that some people will comment regardless - but others will need to know "who's out there" to have the confidence. <br /><br />Eg discussion board only is different to people who have met in person, on Skype etc and then have ongoing discussion on a board. <br /><br />The discussion tab on Facebook pages isn't bad if everyone is already "there" - interested in how others have used it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18239149322380759905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775580951790601340.post-88107271989715642222011-04-25T18:00:43.696+12:002011-04-25T18:00:43.696+12:00Sad news indeed! :(

Maybe an Association could buy access to a certain number of places within a year - and guarantee your course could run?<br /><br />I know that Occupational Therapy Australia has ventured into online CPD - threre's a good case to increase our skills to access & harness/share expertise to the rest of the country via online skills.

So valuable hearing practical experiences in context! <br /><br />I use Skype for;<br />1:1 "meet n greet" with video, group call without video using mentoring / facilitation approach, and to chair meetings remotely.<br /><br />After a bit of emailing it's great to "meet" someone and be able to see them. However more often than not, I don't use video. <br /><br />When I faciliate a group session, or chair a meeting I'm writing notes, looking things up online to share a link etc so it's good to have voice only. <br /><br />However there's the invariable awkwardness of not being able to see when someone's about to speak, or the subtle non verbals in a meeting that impact how you chair(change speed, check for discomfort, change level of info etc)<br /><br />So I've had to prepare more, use a predictable structure, be more explicit with Q, and intentional pauses etc. A work in progress to be sure! <br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your experience! Just think of the carbon footprint you're reducing ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18239149322380759905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775580951790601340.post-22747882935016577362011-04-09T15:51:26.118+12:002011-04-09T15:51:26.118+12:00What I would like to know Sebastian is...how much ...What I would like to know Sebastian is...how much can we rely on volunteers for eLearning support?Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775580951790601340.post-27861689356322381042011-04-04T03:56:02.687+12:002011-04-04T03:56:02.687+12:00You are right Lorraine.

As they need to interact with people from various parts of the globe, they need to follow various accents. <br /><br />Hence, I arrange Skype conference with Chinese, Australian, UK and US friends and bring in my Indian student teachers as well. To lower the inhibition level, I also have school students in the conversation club.<br /><br />Participants learn about each others' country and culture at the discussions. This way, they overcome their inhibitions to work in a multi-national environment.<br /><br />Most flexible volunteers are participants of WikiEducator and Facilitating Online programs.sebastian Panakalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271440383691005523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775580951790601340.post-63395117855557072362011-03-15T04:54:44.328+13:002011-03-15T04:54:44.328+13:00Sorry I couldn't join you, coach.

The Elluminate management system has been playing up over the weekend. Keep persevering...it should work...try re-booting your computer.<br /><br />What you can do to catch up is set up your blog, put your contact details on the wiki page, and then introduce yourself to some of the other participants. Make sure you thoroughly read the wiki so you understand what's going on. And if you can, attend one of the live meetings this week where I can answer any of your questions. cheers SarahSarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775580951790601340.post-65581042001184010202011-03-14T00:24:28.253+13:002011-03-14T00:24:28.253+13:00Hi Sarah, I've not been able to listen to the ...Hi Sarah, I've not been able to listen to the recording of the first session - I found Friday's recording but there's an error actually playing it.

I've been raving about to everyone. It was wonderful for me to have a structure to practise the knowledge I gained. <br /><br />Making up a blog, writing my journey through the course, being prompted to keep going, attending other people's events. . . I don't think there was one thing that didn't lead to a deepening of my understanding of the online world.<br /><br />I'm very excited about the classes I am teaching on WizIQ. I didn't know that a free site like that existed. I did upgrade to a Premium membership to get the extra features because the enrollment has been great. <br /><br />Thanks so much for how your expertise has enriched my life since I first came in contact with you.
