Do you feel that your learning events, webcasts or other virtual training initiatives are flat and not as interactive as they should be? Are you getting the results you want from your virtual training? Find out the secrets to effective engagement and continual interaction by utilizing the hidden opportunities within virtual training sessions and environments. In this interactive webcast, you will learn how to:
• Constantly interact with your learners to keep them engaged.
• Promote your training sessions.
• Connect with your audience before and after the learning session to build maximum value.
• Break up your live sessions into bite-sized learning nuggets.
• Understand and apply best practices to check your audience’s interest so you can target and customize your message right as it is happening.
Eportfolios allow people to manage the evidence of their formal and informal learning experiences by enabling them to gather and present their information in one place. Through a flexible, student-centred approach, teachers/trainers can regularly provide ongoing feedback and advice to their students through their eportfolio. As part of a structured and scaffolded program, students are empowered to showcase themselves in a variety of ways, utilising the mobile devices which they carry around with them, and as they collect their evidence anytime, anywhere. The skills students develop in creating their eportfolio are those necessary to effectively present and manage themselves online, a key skill for the 21st century. Students then have the opportunity to use their eportfolio to apply for a job, get a promotion or gain recognition of prior learning. This session will demonstrate how eportfolios are being used as flexible, online learning and assessment spaces, and how teachers/trainers can get started in implementing eportfolios with their students.

Built for Success: Online Course Design and the COI FrameworkCaroline Conlon
This session will focus on the practical application of the three COI (Comunity of Inquiry) “presences” in course design. Strategies
to build student engagement, community and pedagogical components for each presence will be summarized. A concrete example
of each presence will be explored in depth along with the process used to select effective technology and pedagogical components.
The session will close with a demonstration of the application of COI techniques in major LMS systems including Blackboard,
Moodle, and Canvas. Handouts and worksheets for designing online courses using the COI model will be provided.

Presentation given by Prof K R Srivathsan, Pro Vice Chancellor, Indira Gandhi National Open University on July 13,2011 at WORLD EDUCATION SUMMIT (www.worldeducationsummit.net) in the Higher Education Track: OPEN UNIVERSITIES IN THE DIGITAL ERA (Special Session in association with Distance Education Council)
Terri Johnson, Director of Instructional Technology, Carroll University
Our campus introduced faculty “Bootcamps” as a way to engage faculty in redesigning face-to-face courses for online delivery. Bootcamps were 3-day workshops developed to overcome factors contributing to technology anxiety among faculty, such as time constraints and lack of rewards. I will demonstrate how our approach to Bootcamp can be applied in other faculty development scenarios as provided by the audience. Participants will leave with ideas of how to overcome obstacles to faculty development efforts.
