Conference details
Jo was a keynote speaker at the E-Learning Fusion conference in Poland, she spoke about digital body language. The #ELFconf hashtag regarding her talk had some great responses!

Jo’s talk was titled, ‘Embracing digital body language’ and below are some of the tweets that delegates and Jo shared.

#ELFconf @LightbulbJo giving useful insights on digital body language. Write so personality comes through. Personal brand says much e.g. avatars and profiles. Emoticons. Sharing and vulnerability. Even animated gifs pic.twitter.com/IhfwnsPIeL

Jo has found this area fascinating and has done two blogs on it.
Text Personality – People think you’ll miss out on so much by not speaking face to face or on the phone. There’s a certain amount that’s true about that, I’m not going to argue. But like any communication or detail, there’s a lot more richness you can get without realising.
Reading mood and tone of text – I’m digging in deeper to the idea of being able to read the digital, or virtual, body language of someone without seeing them face to face.

Face to face communication and the virtual classroom – This blog post details research about how our brains react to different types of communication and what this means for how we design and deliver virtual classroom training sessions.
Thanking you!
