Reflection


The addition of a synchronous application to Moodle based training provides some neat features which can be leveraged to improve the response time and quality of the knowledge.

Think about how you would use a whiteboard in your training. Would it be useful? How could you promote interactivity on it, and avoid just presenting PowerPoint slides?

Think about the voting tools—how would you use these? When in the meeting/session would you use these and why?

Most web conferencing systems enable the creation of break-out rooms to have focused group-work. Would you see a fit for this type of feature in your training?

Think about the one feature which seems to make web conferencing a must for inclusion in your training and then test it out. Does it work like you expected?
