Welcome

Welcome to the VOOC Training Blog!

The purpose of VOOC Training is to prepare participants to facilitate learning via Web Conferencing during 2014.

We will be using this blog to extend learning from the structured synchronous sessions that are planned. We will also use the blog to discuss and post ideas and/or questions, leading to deeper learning for all participants.

I look forward to working with you over the coming weeks!
