I was invited to the Charity Learning Consortium’s March Member’s Seminar and facilitated a session about live online learning, or virtual classroom’s. I titled the session “friend or foe” as there can be so much challenge, negativity, mindset or attitude issues when looking towards something new, especially when that involves technology.
I haven’t got any slides here to share, as it was a covnersation I facilitated that had no slides and no structure. Instead, below, I’ve captured the tweets from the session to give you a flavour and also say thank you to the kind comments that people made about my facilitation too.
If you do want some more on this subject, look on my other pages about articles, videos and recorded webinars.
Thank you to Training Journal, Tim Scott and others for their tweets.

Which software to use for live online learning asks @LightbulbJo ? Think about: 1. Cost (how many will use it?) #clcsem …
— Tim Scott (@TimScottHR) March 17, 2016
… 2. Features (do you want to upload PPT? Chat? Whiteboard? Emoticons?) #clcsem
— Tim Scott (@TimScottHR) March 17, 2016
#clcsem ask questions about what you want from the software – chat, whiteboards etc @TrainingJournal @LightbulbJo
— TrainingJournal (@TrainingJournal) March 17, 2016
A key factor- get people talking!!! We love a chat window, what about you? #clcsem @LightbulbJo @charitylearning
— Aimee Jayne Young (@aimeejayneyoung) March 17, 2016
Is there a maximum period of time for online learning? Varying views from #clcsem (Imo no longer than one hour)
— Tim Scott (@TimScottHR) March 17, 2016
30m – 2hrs seems to be the consensus says @LightbulbJo – but it depends on you and your org #clcsem
