Teaching Online: The Key Ingredients

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

In December, Lindsay Clandfield and Nicky Hockly were kind enough to present a webinar for us on the subject of teaching online. We had the greatest turn out yet of all the webainrs we have offered and there have been plenty of requests for the recording to be made available. Because of turkey and champagne, there has been a bit of a delay. Now that we are fully into 2011 and there has been time to recover from the holidays, I have had the chance to post the recordings, so sit back and enjoy. And after that…. go to the shop section of our website to pick up your own copy of Lindsay and Nicky’s book, Teaching Online.  ;  )

Pesky technology problems

Thursday, October 1st, 2009


On Tuesday we had a webinar scheduled with Jamie Keddie, author of Images (Oxford University Press). Murphy’s Law was proven yet again, as Jamie’s internet connection cut about ten minutes into the webinar. Unfortunately, it took a while for him to realise and he has a very entertaining blog entry entitled An evening without me that relates the experience. Gavin Dudeney, co-author of the award-winning How to Teach English with Technology (Longman), happened to be one of the webinar attendees. Gavin was kind enough to let us unmute him and commented on the occasional problems of teaching with technology (like unreliable internet connections) as well as talking a little about teaching in Second Life. Gavin kindly answered some people’s questions and the situation became a bit of a dogme-style lesson (but with technology).

We and Jamie are extremely apologetic about the situation and we are working on rescheduling the webinar, so please stay tuned. Sincere thanks to Gavin for his contribution.
