Speaking at the 19th Annual Conference on DistanceTeaching and Learning at the University of Wisconsin - Madison was an incredible experience. In addition to speaking at the conference, I attended workshops and short presentations that dealt with various aspects of developing and delivering course materials through an online format. One of the most beneficial aspects of the conference was the opportunity to talk with peers who are experimenting with and developing alternative ways to create and deliver distance learning materials.
I gave my presenation on Friday morning of the conference. The audience was very interested in how I use Groove to teach and administer distance learning courses. I have had several people contact me since the presentation asking for more information about Groove.
During the presentation, I compared Groove with LMS systems like Blackboard and WebCt. Additionally, I talked about a variety of software programs that I use to develop course materials and to support the Groove workspace.
My presentation is now available on the Internet. If you are interested in viewing the presentation, go to http://mslive.sonicfoundry.com/forum2AM1/index.asp.
Select the playback speed that works best for you (e.g., Broadband). When the player begins, you can listen from the beginning of the presentation or slide the "button" on the front of the player to the right, almost to the "bar chart icon." I am the third speaker in the program (i.e., Introductory speaker, first speaker, then me).
I look forward to your comments.
Best wishes,
