Of course we do need to be able to "have our eat our cake and eat it too"! And not always be in crisis. Being a Libran I prefer balance.<BR/>BronBronwyn hegartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032750297040394983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816906012110607843.post-32544628640334220002007-09-15T06:14:00.000-07:002007-09-15T06:14:00.000-07:00Hi Carolyn,I wanted to lend a helping hand to reso...Hi Carolyn,<BR/><BR/>I wanted to lend a helping hand to resolve the technical issues you experienced with Elluminate! I'm glad to see you were able to connect but you had a few times where you were disconnected from the session. I'd like to work with you prior to your next session test some things out. Please feel free to contact me at anytime and we can meet online!<BR/><BR/>Zemina Hasham<BR/>Senior Director, Client Services<BR/>Elluminate Inc.<BR/>Phone: 403-204-7896 x760<BR/>Email: ZeminaH@elluminate.comzeminahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355508005846712197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816906012110607843.post-50388971643904467842007-09-14T13:44:00.000-07:002007-09-14T13:44:00.000-07:00Hi CarolynI think our experience this week just go...Hi Carolyn<BR/><BR/>I think our experience this week just goes to confirm that any learning activity that involves technology needs a back-up plan. <BR/><BR/>But we managed to keep most people together until Elluminate was working and so I think Bronwyn is right(in her comments on the course blog) that we're beginning to form a group/community. And as you've identified here, when things go wrong we can try to make sure those things don't happen with our future facilitation!<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>YvonneYvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166763727827662001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816906012110607843.post-73162713196816832092007-09-13T17:40:00.000-07:002007-09-13T17:40:00.000-07:00I agree that our experience with Elluminate has be...I agree that our experience with Elluminate has been a great teaching tool. As the facilitator, it would be useful to: a. make sure you keep communication lines open when technology does crash b. have an alternative plan in case of problems. It was nice to break out into smaller groups on Skype, like a small tutorial. I would like to propose that we do that more frequently.
