Some ideas at http://mobilizethis.wikispaces.com/2008_Presenters_Guidelines
I think we need to give examples of types of presentations. The MobilizeThis site does this at its Themes page: http://mobilizethis.wikispaces.com/2008_Themes D. Oliver 25-09-08
The above link says "Second Life Educators are invited to share their projects, success stories and research." This is a good guideline: informative but not overly limiting (as, for example, limiting types of presentations to demonstrations, workshops, and discussions would be).

Taking off from this earlier list, I see COACHING as a topic I can work on before the convergence. I have set up a Mentoring page where we can add instructions, link help files and volunteer/presenter hookups to. I can manage this page until mid-May, but I leave for a week of travel and will not be able to participate in WiAOC09 because I am going to my 45th college reunion. --EHS - 5 APR 09
Coaching |
Related to HELP but directed at presenters, the coaching team assigns mentors on an individual basis to presenters who request help in finding the best way to make their presentations |
We need someone to MANAGE this area, and to set up a wiki where presenters can request help and volunteers can put themselves down to help them.
