Project Results • 7. What I enjoyed most • Breakout group activities great, very engaging • Hands on work, good practical knowledge. • Loved the interactive whiteboard. • Interaction with peers, sharing ideas/ knowledge • Info from a wide range of people in different orgs • Not having to leave home • Ability to get straight back to work • Better than going off site to train. Less down time • Using technology to deliver education. • Accessible, interesting and relevant topics. • 8. What could be improved • Pre-testing equipment first, practice using the technology • Sound issues, could not hear some people and some were very loud. • Making sure everyone one is either linked by webcam or microphone, as its harder to type. Especially as an Aboriginal person who is more visual.... • The technology was simultaneously a help and a hindrance. Early days and a good first effort • More time to work on group activities • Numbers to add up. Add a CashflowStatement. “…variety of ways to interact, big group, little group, plus great resources to follow up… and I’m thrilled the IT Worked.”
Lessons Learnt • Set up a strong technical support system….
Lessons Learnt • However, don’t expect participants to use the support system without encouragement
Lessons Learnt • Set up a strong technical support system…. • However, don’t expect participants to use it without encouragement • Practice, Practice, Practice – minimum 2 practice run throughs before the session • Train your trainers to be online facilitators NOT online presenters • Prepare as much as possible in advance (e.g. layering whiteboards, experiment with best layouts) • Be flexible… and have FUN
