A group of 16 of us met in the Elluminate (24/7 meeting room) today. As expected, others had some technical issues and weren't able to make it, others found their way into another meeting room entirely! And the meeting room that we did have dropped its connection for a moment there, which really freaked me out. All that aside though, it was a good meeting and we covered everything that needs to considered for this orientation week.. namely:
These 3 steps are very important if we are to benefit from each other through this course. The wiki entry for this week has help resources on how to do those things if you are new to all this, and the email forum will be a great place to ask questions and get help. Please use them!
Regarding that meeting room. I thought I'd be tricky and set the meeting to begin from the 25 July and run until 24 December. I did this so we would all have constant access to the meeting space if ever any of us needed such a space at a time other than our allocated times. The link to that space will always be the same and is listed at the top of the wiki, and in the links on the course blog. Look for the link that says 24/7 meeting room. The bad news is that because the meeting doesn't end until December, I won't be able to get recordings out of it! Yeah I know, sorry about that.. I didn't see that one coming. That's what you get for trying to be tricky. In the future, I will set up an external recorder to do the recording, so we will have recordings - but not this time.. sorry.
If this meeting room proves to be unreliable, we will move to one of many options. Lets see.
So:

Just a note that as I reviewed the recording made I noticed that some participants comments were inaudible at times (happened several times). Not just quiet but simply not there. Do you know what caused this? It seems very odd that it would not record everyones input. The people coordinating could obviously hear them and no one else complained during the session.
If this could be sorted it would be useful.
Thanks

Wow!! There IS a recording! Thank you Andrew, you just made my day.
The silences may have been that people were responding via the chat room, and the voices were responding to that. Disjointed I know... hopefully as time goes on, those who do have access to microphones will use them.
Thanks so much for discovering the recording.
