WHY THESE INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITIES?
![Page 11: Synch and swim nsw det_final](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/559b5e9b1a28ab1f448b4600/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

USE OF WEBCAMS
• Use your webcam (or at least show a picture) briefly at the start of the session as part of the introduction
• Have participants do the same if they have them, if they want to, and if bandwidth allows
• Unless you’re all on the NBN (or other high speed network) I recommend you then turn off webcams to conserve bandwidth, but it is a personal choice.

conversation, telephone calls, text chat,
Instant Messaging

Impact for Participants
Advantages Disadvantages
• Audience is more engaged• You don’t have to wait till the end of a presentation to ask questions or comment• Can communicate with other people in the room about issues raised in the presentation• Provides you with an archive of the presentation (note taking)
• May miss some points while writing commentary, responding to other backchannellers• Is mentally very taxing• May start to stray off-topic (what’s for lunch? How are the kids? Etc)• Opportunity to make negative remarks about the speaker

Impact for Speaker/PresenterAdvantages Disadvantages
• Can get real time feedback from audience• Can ensure that you are meeting audience needs/answering urgent questions• Promotes greater level of engagement• a listener may elaborate on something you’re saying (eg add more information about a theory, post a URL, suggested a related blog, etc)• May get positive feedback from audience as it happens• Models a new way of teaching/presenting that is less teacher-centric and more network-centric
• May appear as if many are not paying attention• Your audience has access to a ‘critical channel’• Your thoughts may be communicated to an audience for whom they were not intended• Can be overwhelming to keep track of (may require working in tandem with a moderator)

Skills of the Live Online Presenter
• Golden Rule: 6-8 minutes talking at a stretch
maximum
• Intersperse presentations with questions, polls, other
speakers (from the floor), whiteboard activity
• Decide how to handle direct messaging – will you
monitor/respond? Or ignore it? Dip in and out of it?
• Consider working with a producer/co-presenter
