Building an online course: preparations (2)

The next step was done via email postings directly to the participants to encourage each of them to:

1. download the software
2. prepare their images
3. create a story outline

Prior to the online workshops (each conducted in Elluminate) some discussion took place among the participants about their proposed development of learning resources.

Note: it was important to establish some background about the project in its context for the QAS.

The workshop schedule was sent to all participants and reminders were sent each week or fortnight to participate in the online events.

Note: there were only a few who actually participated in the first few workshops and by workshop 5, we were down to two participants only.
