You may have seen a number of online workshops - (sometimes called web conferences or webinars) - offered by Enabling e-Learning, VPLD and other groups over the last few months.
Online workshops offer another pathway for learners that can be efficient and flexible (meeting in your pyjamas, anyone?;-), but the distance and lack of face-to face can also present particular challenges to facilitators, as well as participants.
The big question is: how do you design and facilitate an online workshop in ways that support learners to achieve the goals?
Hazel Owen (VPLD) and myself have decided to kick-start this work and offer this shared Google doc as a starting point for sharing ideas.
Feel free to add in...
...and do please share your questions in this thread, too. Everyone welcome:-)

Timely, very timely for me. Thanks so much for adding this - I will be referring to this on a regular basis and as time goes by I hope to be able to add some thing new to the discussions!
Think I might have to get along to one of these too. Thanks Karen for organising and hear you there Moana .
Grateful for the notes Karen...great starting point for me.
Kia ora Karen, kia ora Hazel. Do we have any video/eluminate examples we can share to illustrate some of the ideas in the Google Doc?
Great thread, by the way.
Kia ora and thank you for the comments thus far, and for your contributions to the shared Google doc. Yes, Chrissie, we and others will be aiming to add stories/videos of good practice as we find them, too:-)
Just dropped a few more resources into our shared Google docs, including a couple of video links....cheers, all:-)
