I ran the session today. From my perspective I thought it went well. Outside of the e-learning team, there were 2 people, and one that couldn’t access it for technical reasons. There seems to be an issue with the image used on machines in the Library. They are looking into it.

I tried to give the session an obvious exit point. In particular to encourage them to visit the eLPF for more info, such as links, accessing the files and continue the dialogue within the e-learning practitioners Forum. I set up a coffee break area, a forum and some links (including to the presentation). Unfortunately, the camtasia recording didn’t work as the audio must have conflicted with the audio on Megameeting. So it is a silent movie :-) I’ll need to think why, and canvas the team … Dom, any ideas?

The approach was the same as outlined in an earlier post by me. It would be really useful if people modified the post and the page (coffee break) as they try the approach. Lots of opportunity to share experiences and build a consensus.

I did encourage them all to turn off their video links.

This is our first try at this type of staff development session. We’ve another three in planned. It is very much an iterative process, so the questions I’d like the participants to answer are;

  • How did they find it as a learning activity?
  • Was it too short or too long?
  • How might it be improved?
