I will be attending a workshop on Action Research this weekend as part of the mini networks here at AEIN. My interests tend to be about the technology component. How can the bar be low enough so everyone can successfully navigate whatever technology we're using? There are two aspects: the human and the machine. The machine aspect -does the individual have the right tools for the task-interests me less. I am interested in the attitudes, knowledge and skills for success navigating the waters of facilitating in the online world.
I see this as applicable to both the mini networks and my work with distance education.
Even more specifically, what are the resources, tools, pedagogies, etc. that I can use to teach people how to use these tools when we are working at a distance -via phone, elive, etc.
This is my first cut
