Online seminars

Innovate: the journal of online education (for which this blog has long had an RSS feed - see listing on right hand column) has a new series of papers and accompanying online seminars coming up in March. The journal invites paper authors to use Adobe Connect software to provide live online presentations and these later become available for viewing in their archives. During the event attendees can post questions using a text chat tool or, for a limited number, using headsets/microphones. Whilst Adobe Connect also allows video during the presentations, Innovate's versions are based on audio plus PowerPoint.

Forthcoming events are:

• Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 11:00 AM: Let Me Learn with My Peers Online!: Foreign Language Learning Through Reciprocal Peer Tutoring
• Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 2:00 PM: Learning at a Distance: Engaged or Not?
• Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 3:00 PM: Online Teaching and Classroom Change: The Trans-Classroom Teacher in the Age of the Internet

And previous topics include: Online Course Development; Podcasts for Engineering Education; Games, Avatars and Education, etc. The full listing is available here.
