I am now delivering the second half of the LANCELOT course. It is now time to move from e:presenter, the virtual classroom we have been using for the synchronous sessions so far. The participants will be exploring other synchronous environments like Instant Presenter, WebTrain, Breeze and Second Life. For a few of them this is the equivalent of moving to another planet. Good thing intercultural training is also part of the LANCELOT program!

They have been doing some beautiful teaching and creating great learning activities. Although I have experienced new and evolving environments time and time again, tools are constantly morphing and being mashed up with other tools. It is always a moving target. The experience is never the same - for me, this is what is really exciting. This all gets even more engaging when a group of curious, innovative and creative people are involved. Right now participants are busy preparing for their assessments.
