Guest Speaker - Katryna McCosker

Purpose & relevance to the learning program

Katryna has been delivering online learning via Adobe Connect for approximately 9 months. Katryna was invited as a guest speaker to present the layout of the Adobe connect room she uses and to provide her top tips.

Benefits of a guest speaker

  • Connecting in real time with an expert who can answer questions and provide useful hints and tips
  • Can tap into overseas speakers as there is no need to be physically present
  • Ability to extend the learning by collaboration via a Blog, Wiki or other means.
Please reply to this post with additions to this list!

Katrynas Top Tips

  • Attendee list - make this fairly long so as to see who is in the room more clearly
  • Nice pics in the lobby - this puts people in a good frame of mind for learning
  • If you dont use a timer in the lobby, make sure you are in the room anyway in 10 mins prior
  • One chat pod only is used instead of several. One chat pod can follow you through all the layouts for the session
  • PPP is kept brief to encourage discussion
  • File share – describes these as handouts for participants
  • Videos in weblinks - work well
  • Utilise breakout rooms where possible
A big thanks to Katryna for her presentation!
Please contact me if you would like to present!
