Helen Poynten: Faculty eLearning Contact/ Welfare teacher
I have been totally inspired by Adobe Connect, our web conferencing software
Even though there has been a substantial learning investment into getting comfortable with it – once you’re off and running, it’s great. Really!!
The benefits are truly impressive. They include:
- being green (reduces car trips, photocopying),
- being current (meetings happen in the here and now),
- being accessible (most of us have desktops, headsets)
- document development process is collaborative (+ organic)
One of the key satisfactions I’ve had as a FeLC is generating interest amongst colleagues to try Adobe Connect. One of the faculty’s part-time teachers, who works with the division of General Practice, agreed to trial it. He was so impressed that he bought his organisation’s general manager into the virtual meeting room to meet me and talk about how useful Adobe Connect is.
This example of creating personal/professional interest in peers, leading to recommendations of facilitating organisational change and adopting cleaner, equitable practices shows the value of the LTT philosophy – don’t be afraid. And how great is that!!

Last Friday was amazing! Why?
Well, a teacher from

We were sitting in

shared destops and with no travel involved.
The vision is working.
