Online-Session
February 2, 2009
Our last session was a very new experience for me, because it was the first online seminar I’ve ever took part in. I was really curious how to manage to bring so many people online together and hold a seminar.
In the beginning, we had some problems to manage that everybody could see and hear the instructors and referees. It was a little bit exhausting to keep in the skype conference, sometimes I got kicked out and had to wait untill I was called again and could join the seminar again. That was a little bit frustrating.
Additionally I found, that it was exhausting to follow the presentations over the whole time of almost two hours without seeing the person, that is speaking.
What I really liked was the discussion in the skype chat, while the presentation was on. It was quite interesting to discuss everything immediately and direct.
All in all it was a very interesting and important experience to me.
