Online meetings and classes are GREAT! We've been using this technology in Southwest Kansas for a while now, and I feel comfortable with it. There are some types of meetings that just lend themselves to face-to-face, but most meetings and classes can be presented online. The advantage of being able to sit at your own desk and listen in can't be over-rated! And if the you're listening to an archived session, you can listen whenever it's convenient. I think the demand for this type of meeting/workshop will only increase as more and more of us realize the advantages. I also think the technologies will improve, thereby increasing the demand!
I've utilized this type of workshop many times in the past and today, I listened to an archived class -- New Copyright Tools and Best Practices: Copyright Law Update 2010. It was hosted by Infopeople and presented by Mary Minow of Stanford University. It was a packed hour of fantastic information about the most recent issues pertaining to copyright law.

Sara,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog posts so much. It's just like talking to you. :) I think the use of online meetings will increase, too. Thank you for sharing the information from the Copyright workshop with me. I still think that will be the one I listen to, too.
