Interested in e-learning in Wales?

A reminder of the first meet up of the Gwella/ELESIG regional group for Wales, on Monday March 21st 2011. The meet up will run from 10:30 to 14:30, with lunch included and be free of charge due to the funding we have from ELESIG. The meet up will be at three venues, Swansea, Aberystwyth and Glamorgan. The venues will be connected by the Welsh Video Network.

One of the themes of the meeting will be online classrooms and lecture capture and the meet up will have a fairly fluid format allowing as much time as possible for contributions and sharing of experiences. However, discussion will not be limited to a single theme and there will be opportunities to share a variety of experiences.

Free Webinar: How to run a virtual classroom session

The eLearning Network are running a free webinar on 'How to run a virtual classroom session'

Date: 2 August 2010
Time: 12 noon
Venue: Online

More and more education and training providers are making use of web conferencing as a way to bring learners together for events that would have previously been conducted in the classroom, or which may not previously have been practical or economic on a face-to-face basis. Effective virtual classroom sessions go way beyond webinars or online meetings to involve all participants as much as or more than the physical classroom, through the use of a wide variety of multimedia and interactive techniques. In this session, Clive Shepherd and Barry Sampson will share the benefit of their extensive experience with virtual classrooms to help you both assess the potential for the greater use of live online learning in your organisation and ensure that the sessions that you do deliver are as least as successful as your face-to-face events.
