 * Online Training in a Read/Write Web Era**

Guiding Questions**
 * BUD

What are your objectives?

How do you train now?

What works for you and your students?

What would you like to do that you cannot do now?

How much emphasis and effort will be placed on developing and providing learning in multiple modes?

Are there any approaches of which you might not be aware? How do you know what you don’t know?
 * Tricky Business -**

Network with others. Use communication tools like Twitter, Yammer, read and respond to blogs, write your own blog posts and get feedback from others.

Don’t look for tools - look for approaches - the tools will change


 * Observation:**

Much of what is offered in training and education is text or slide based. • Handouts, Word Docs, PDF files, etc. • Lecture notes • PowerPoints

It has often been used during presentations and the provided as static content placed within a location such as Blackboard or other websites.

Given that as a starting point, **let’s look at some options to expand on that foundation.** AND - PROVIDE CONTENT IN MULTIPLE MODES

Text can now be easily updated as information or training needs change. Text can be collaboratively developed.


 * Blackboard becomes a PORTAL** / doorway of common access for participants. However this portal does not have to be a container / repository - **it can be a SPRINGBOARD** to any and all resources in various locations:
