I'm a wiki fan. The problem I have with twitter and blogs it is still a kind of broadcast model. We have all become mini radio stations. On the other hand, wikis (and team learning systems which we use for face-to-face knowledge creating) use integr…
Hi Jane, Thanks for the invitation to join. My company makes systems for face-to-face and on-line social learning in real time. I'm from Australia, but currently in the USA running some events to help people create new businesses, products, services…

I have hosted a Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference in Chicago every six months since 1994 with a goal of building connections between those involved in the field, and those who support the work we do. The conference is also intended t…
Thanks Lynn. I'm not sure what the answer to this is, but it's certainly something that's been on my consciousness a lot lately as I feel like I'm so often slipping behind in learning new methods and techniques in my field, while at the same time dr…
We do tend to hold ourselves back into a few very well known formats - lecture/panel/workshop when there are many others that could be tried. The flip side of this is that people get used to these formats and get nervous when new things are introduc…

I think you are right. Combine some of the old with the new could be a good way to improve the contacts between researchers. I have been in several of conferences where I met a lot interesting colleagues, but I just still in touch with some a few, m…
it's good idea to engage participants before, during and after the conference or workshops. but some big challenges remain i.e. time, relevance and capacity to engage. We've had successful international conferences in agricultural research, with ple…
Online conference atmosphere:
Another issue which is important in an online conference is the atmosphere. It's important to give a lot of thought to this. In my opinion having a cafe in addition to the lecturers is not enough. Yes - have online conf…
Hi John,
