Things are certainly hotting up and the 2009 Facilitating Online mini
conference starts today. Check out the schedule on the course
wiki<http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Facilitating_Online/course_mini_confer...>to
see details of the events, where and when.

I am very excited and really looking forward to attending the events.
Unfortunately, we have had to make a last-minute change to how we mark the
assessment of this course.
Leigh<http://leighblackall.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-research-and-development...>has
just moved to Canberra for a new job so we have had to abandon the
model
we were using ie keeping the facilitator separate from the marker. Thus, I
will be marking all the course assignments and someone else from EDC Otago
Polytechnic <http://edcevents.blogspot.com/> will be moderating.

To do (if you haven't done so already)
This is when you complete Assignment
2<http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Facilitating_Online#Assignment_2:_Faci...>
.

1. Confirm details of your event listed in the course mini
conference.<http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Facilitating_Online/course_mini_confer...>
2. Actively promote your event to the rest of the participants and wider.
This conference is open for anyone to attend, so take the opportunity to
bring in wider audiences.
3. Facilitate your event at the mini conference and attend as many if not
all other events in the conference.
4. Help document the conference by posting commentary to your blog.

Those of you finalising your events
For those of you who have yet to arrange your event, please check what has
been organised thus far. There is a very strong theme about online tools and
how we use them to organise ourselves, so be careful that you do not
replicate what is already being offered.

Also, if you're thinking about asking for a brief extension, I will be away
from 24th-27th November<http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2009/10/facilitating-forum-for-indi...>so
will be unable to attend any live events during that time.

'Thank you' to Leigh
Last, but certainly not least I would like to thank Leigh for all the work
he has done in this course not just this year but over the last few years,
and wish him all the best for his new job. It was Leigh, Bronwyn
Hegarty<http://wikieducator.org/User:Bronwynh>and this
course that started me on my journey three years
ago<http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2008/02/facilitating-online-learnin...>and
for that I am very grateful.

I can tell you that this course is only the beginning, and that you have
heaps more challenges and fun in front to you :)

Hi Everyone

I am sorry we didn't have much success this afternoon. Thank you for taking
the time to join Robin and I online....We are going to reschedule when they
have put a patch on Elluminate, so Robin can join us using her Mac Computer.

Wow what an experience!! You have to smile about it.

I will join you all again sometime after the 16th November. I will let you
all know the time and date.

Many thanks

Kylee

Hi Kylee

Well done for keeping very calm throughout the process, it was a real shame as for the most part we could hear you. You have certainly demonstrated to the rest of us the art of facilitation and issues with technology!. I look forward to joining in at a later date.

Rachel

HI Kylee,

I think indeed it was a really good experience.

At least you got started off well , we could hear you and robin just fine.

Hope they resolve the MAC problem and it would be a bit more easier.

Well done for a start off.

Thanks for the update- I was on Skype at the ready- but didn't seem to
be getting through. I had spent over an hour with the tech people at
Otago trying to get a resolve for UCOL and Elluminate and it was not
looking good at 12pm...however, it was an interesting experience to go
through and I have my fingers crossed for our other sessions!!!!!

Cheers
