Kim Cofino - the Bangkok protesters nearly prevented her from presenting as she was not allowed home for three or four weeks. We learned first hand what it felt like to be part of an unsettled country, when Kim appeared a little late to the presentation.
Coping with the different accents of participants
'Thinking on the fly" when a presenter failed to show up (happened last week, but the participants were great and shared their knowledge and sites.)
Internet access being flaky, forcing moderators and presenters in and out of the room but we always came back!
Despite any difficulties the show has always gone on!
Lorna will give an over view of
classroom 20 live
weekly webinar series
