The last session I went to was on creating an online faculty commons as a space for interested faculty to share ideas and techniques about e-learning. Was a bit concerned as it was being run by someone on ex-WebCT, but figured the topic was generic enough that the platform wouldn't make a huge difference.
Unfortunately, the speaker was not very dynamic and it took a little while to get some pace. One of the lessons learned on the handout was that you would get low turnout in the beginning (which I figured might be the case, and was interested in what strategies had been employed to increase that turnout). Then I saw in the presentation that the project had started Spring 2008, and I had the realization I wasn't going to see those strategies after all, so I left and went to the Outcomes System meeting with Paul. Apologies to the speaker for leaving (as that can be quite annoying), but I just realized then I wasn't going to get much out of it.
