Hi,
Earlier this week, I did a day and a half of instructor training for the
NIH via web conferencing. It went much better than I expected, as did
the mixed-mode training we did last summer (where the instructor taught
via teleconference and screen sharing, but the students were all sitting
together, and there were helpers in the room).
We would like to try running half a dozen small workshops this summer
using the same model, in part to give new instructors a chance to get
some teaching experience, but also to see if we can put on workshops
without people having to travel as much (which will reduce hosts'
costs). We are therefore looking for:
- experienced instructors who would be willing to teach a couple of
half-days over the web, and
- novice instructors who'd like to host a workshop where they are, do
some parts of the teaching, and be a helper for the other parts (either
on their own or with friends)
We'll charge the usual admin fee for these workshops, but since there
won't be travel expenses, the overall cost for hosts should be much
less. If you're interested in taking part, please mail me directly
(rather than replying to the 'discuss' list) and I'll start figuring out
teleconferencing requirements and putting pairs together.
Thanks,
Greg
