Transcript of Confessions of a webinar virgin
Confessions of a webinar virgin
Learners struggled with concepts of technology
End users had almost zero computing skills
Distance delivery – teacher was located in Rotorua but the class was in Turangi
Completely used to face to face – classroom delivery model
Older learners
Timing – we needed a solution and FAST!
Designated tutor had no experience or knowledge of the topic
Easy to use - simplicity
Intuitive
Real time functionality
Upload and sharing documents with ease
Record and playback functions
Sharing internet pages
Very little technology needed
Authentic interaction
Chat
Pods
Games
Two way interaction
Questions and answers
The cost
Cheap to access and run
Straight out of the box usability
Little to no additional software required
Teacher training 101
Backing up the lessons with content on Moodle
Computer access for students
Online takes just as much preparation as face to face – if not more so
Beginners luck ran out three weeks in
Practise! Practise! Practise!
Pain free sessions became hard to do
Internet explorer – please use Chrome or Firefox
Check it all works before you get a guest speaker in
Limited access to high speed internet for students
Turn off the microphone
Pause your camera
Think about what you are going to say before you open your mouth
If you are using an external room microphone – turn down the input levels!
Group work – works!
Moving video was better than paused video or a static screen shot
Length of delivery was too long – 1 hour was too much at a time
A great resource to have and use
A lecturer in the classroom would have been better
Using the program helped their learning – because of the content being delivered
Ability to review video later is a big positive
Full screen for displaying video
Students turned off when they had distractions at their end
Offline communication and feedback is still important
Access to PowerPoint's and notes used is very important
