=Example Submission to the PC Directory.=

I'm sure you'll join us in extending grateful thanks to Karen Ver who has allowed us to submit her submission to last year's PC Directory. Her PowerPoint was prepared in preparation for the presentation session (our presentation evenings are on the 24th November (at 7pm for Group A) and the 25th November (at 8pm for Group B), but in the event, she didn't show her presentation although she used it to guide her live online introduction to her community. Her notes are a great example of the type of narrative that you might want to prepare for your own presentation. Thanks again Karen! :-)

Learning and Skills Group The Learning and Skills Group(LSG) is an off-shoot social-networking site to the Learning and Technologies Conference. []
 * The Learning and Skills Group** (Karen Ver)

The conference is held annually in January in London and has always offered a range of online additional resources for conference delegates to access following the physical event. In 2007 the conference organisers included an additional follow up day in June with the focus being more about ‘hands on’ demonstrations. To accompany the new Learning and Skills Group a Ning site was built for all group members. The group is aimed at anyone working in learning and development with an interest in e-learning and blended learning and is open to anyone to join. There is a FE and HE group so if anyone is interested!!

The site hosts a number of groups that have been created by members of the LSG. The groups are self-selecting so any member can join any group they would like. The discussion forums in the groups vary. Some are very active through to some not having any contributions. Some of the group ‘creators’ have also run sessions at the follow up day on the basis of the topic being discussed being very popular. The LSG also run a series of Webinars. This week there were two: [|Social media behind the firewall - the paranoid organisation's guide to going social] [|Embedding e-learning in your organisation] The organisers of the LSG regularly send out emails to remind members of some of the ‘hot topics’ or new questions raised to encourage responses. I’ve contributed to a few items. I like the format of __most__ of the webinar sessions I’ve attended. One was terrible however all the others have been very informative, great interactions with the participants, which on average has at least 100, well to the sessions I’ve attended that is.
