Sessions

PRESENTATION SUMMARY: Using Adobe ConnectPro, we staged the **very first simulcast at Madlat2010** and it was recorded (in the past guest-speakers in the UK and in Australia delivered sessions at a distance, which is also an online-offline simulcast), however, for the first time ever a sessions was broadcast from the Madlat conference ground 'out').**This was a very spontaneous experiment and it was not at all planned**! There was no real microphone, only a headset, which was positioned on the corner of the presenters desk and a built in webcam of the netbook which picked up the audio. In this setting the voices from the audience are difficult to hear. But this spontaneous experiment showed I believe, the technology to do this is not anymore really complicated. Internet, a virtual classroom, a webcam are now readily available. If I had positioned the netbook which was on wireless in the middle of the room and if I had used a 360° webcam microphone, then this experience would have been of good enough quality to invite an audience at a distance to this local presenation. Whilst this spontaneous recording is far from being perfect, you will be able to follow the presentation well.From minute 10 to 14, my voice got lost temporarily because I accidentally switched off the netbook and it shut down. During this time however, I showed 2 Youtube recordings and both are audible. The first one is the example at the Online Educa 2009, when we ran a Pecha Kucha that was simulcasted out from the local conference and which saw the very founder of Pecha Kucha, Mark Dytham join from Tokyo. (Pecha Kucha is a speedy presentation technique which allows for 20 slides autoadvancing every 20sec, total presentation time is 6min 40sec). The second example is simulcasting an Adobe ConnectPro session in Second Life which we did once to try it out but found it did not really make sense because many wanted to attend the session rather in Adobe. Simulcasting Second Life sessions into Adobe however is much more interesting because many users have never been in Second Life and will likely see this for the first time. (Here is an interesting example of a 20min recording by LanguageLab.) In these settings, the virtual classroom becomes a virtual window into a virtual world. media type="custom" key="9336890"

Would you like to find a way to produce less carbon, have lower costs, be more engaging and reach educators in the most distant corners of a vast country?
 * Session Description: **

You can do all this and more with a global online conference, a sustainable and ecological way of conferencing. With more than 2500 participants, approximately 240 guest speakers and 6 successful online conferences (delivered in virtual classrooms and in virtual worlds), Heike Philp of let’s talk online has gained extensive experience organizing and moderating global conferences in real-time via the internet.

This presentation will outline how to begin delivery of an online conference, which web conferencing tools work well, and the amount of work required to organize and moderate an online conference. It will identify how much technical expertise and manpower is required to prepare and train guest speakers, as well as how to engage the online audience. A brief overview will be given on which online platforms best support member registration and payment systems.

The following is a list of Online Conferences which took place since October 2009.
