Conference Presentation Went Well

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

My presentation was this morning, right after the keynote address by the president and VP from Blackboard, Michael Chasen and Karen Gage. Depending on how you look at it, pretty good billing. Michael from Bb had some interesting things to say and he talked about Web 2.0 and suggested that we’re about to see e-Learning 2.0.

If you don’t already know, my presentation talks about bringing Web 2.0 to higher-ed and our experience with Podcasts and Wikis.
I think things went well because someone told me afterwards that “Michael from Bb mentioned a few things and then you went on and explained what the hell he was talking about.” Plus I’m now flying through business cards every time we break for coffee.

There as also been some very interesting presentations today and I think I’ve got another collection of valuable little tips to bring back to Brock.

Here’s my presentation: www.brocku.ca/~mclare/webct06/
