Live Classroom with Clint Smith

On Tuesday we enjoyed a session with Clint Smith from Eworks in Wimba Live Classroom. The group was small but our locations varied from Townsville to Tasmania and included several towns in rural Victoria showcasing one of the great advantages of using an online classroom.

We began the session with a guided tool of the platform. Then Clint demonstrated how to use the polling tool. In Live Classroom this allows you to pose questions that require the participants to type in an answer rather than just use multiple choice. Once all the reponses were entered Clint published these to the whiteboard and used the information to initiate discussion amongst the group. This was a great way to include all the participants in the discussion and get the session rolling.

Thank you Clint for an informative session and for demonstrating your well developed online facilitation skills.
