Mentoring

This page is to provide help for presenters, including hooking you up with an expert user of your synchronous presentation interface. Typically, your mentor will attend your presentation and may help in managing the text chat if you are doing voice/video, and/or help resolve problems with the interface for you and participants. See also the links to HELP files and videos below.

 

Hi folks, Vance here on May 17, 2009.  We've decided it would be best if Mentors would moderate the sessions they are mentoring and as this would include moderating the session (of finding a moderator) the moderator's name should be written in the left hand column just below the time.  These instructions are indicated on the schedule for each day; e.g. http://wiaoc09.pbworks.com/May22.

People have been looking for the help links.  I'll keep in mind that they are here and see if we can make them more obvious somewhere. - Vance
