Subject: Re: Have I completed the T3 requirements? -- you sure have
Hi Greg:
Sorry you were reduced to writing this plea for
clarification. You're right
about the
reasons for our lack of response -- I've been on the road training for
the majority of the past four weeks -- but that is an explanation for
our lack of response, but not a good reason.
And so I apologize.
I've been trying to block out
some time to go and mark all the portfolios, and
never seem to get there. But maybe the key here is to just do one portfolio
at a time. With that in mind, I've just gone to look at your participation
and am happy to report that you have, in fact, completed all the
necessary requirements for the T3, both the online portion and the f2f.
In fact, you completed them
with a style I really enjoyed. So,
please go ahead and do the video evaluation. I look forward to seeing it
and wish you the best of luck in your
session. I do hope that you and your
family are enjoying a relaxing holiday season.
cheers,
Bonita.

3. Feedback from participants &
coordinator on T3 session delivery:
Teaching Session Evaluation
from Training Coordinator and Participants
WebCT F2F @ Ohio State University
Feedback: Tools
& Strategies for Teaching Online
Instructor: Greg Cooper
One thing that you think you did well:
"I danced." I responded well to the positive
responses to the audience.
One thing that you think you needed to work on:
I panicked (server malfunctioned...GB) and
probably said "Ahh" to many times.
Things that we
feel you did well.
A) You did not appear to have a problem going with the
flow
B) Did wonderful not getting hyper and its obvious that you know how to act
in a situation like this
(refers to server malfunction after training session started....GB)
C) Nicely laid out
D) Starting out, breaking the things down and going through the steps...
anxiety factor. Did not seem to be bothered by this, good solid tool and
continued to bring us along
E) Closure great
F) When someone asked a question and then you asked if you answered their
question
G) Redundant... kept repeating information that was valuable
H) Handled questions well. Didn�t talk down to the audience. Came back to
verify the comment about the "big white frame"
I) You explained that the calendar has a lot more capability than just being
a "calendar."
Things you need to work on
A) Ask more questions of the audience
B) You might have some faculty that aren't as quick with the mouse. Give
verbal directions-where the buttons are.
Bonita's comments (Ms.
Bonita Bray was WebCT Corp's T3 & F2F Training Coordinator)
1.)
Way you
interacted with the group was excellent
2.)
Could hear
you,
3.) You
moved around
4.) Articulated well
5.) Comfortable to be there
6.) Liked that you stated why you�re using it
7.) Handled the problem very well
8.) Even though you had to deal with a problem you made us feel
comfortable with it
Would have wanted
- Explain that we were
in student view, and you were in designer view.
- Would have liked to
link to course materials
- Noticed that you
said "Umm" a lot and you might want to realize that
- Show the calendar with a new entry in the "My
WebCT"

Subject: Wow, nice training strategy! Mind if I ask some questions?
Hello,
Please excuse the intrusion, but over the last few days I've
been
hunting through the web looking for
innovative training strategies for WebCT.
Yours is definitely one of them. We are presently "revamping" our
training strategy and I'm wondering if I can
ask some questions regarding your
programme.
We presently teach the tools to users in small groups (4-12
typical) in
a 9 course programme but
this is problematic. I'm wondering how long you have
been using this individualised strategy and how scalebale it is. (i.e.
how many potential users you have. We have probably 400 staff using
webct at present with 2-3 signing up each week for new courses.
Our team consists of 2-3 people able to work at this level.
1 to 1 training with a well structured
individualised plan which seems to be
what you are getting people to sign up for would be a very nice outcome
for us. We have tried offering individual consulting but this has
been less used then we would have likes. Perhaps we needed to be more
clear in what we offered or perhaps there are other factors at work.
A final question, how successful has your programme been? It
looks like
a winner. I really would
appreciate any feedback you can offer as we need
to come up with the best approach for all concerned (academic and support/training
staff). Thanks very much for your time.
Warm regards from Sydney

Testimonial from K. Allnut, WebCT Training Evaluator, regarding videotaped
training session
"Greg really knows WebCT in and out and
demonstrates his knowledge in his examples, activities,
descriptions,
and responses to attendees. Because of his knowledge and experience using
WebCT, Greg does an excellent job combining
the how and why of using WebCT seamlessly.
You are a real asset to the
Canadian group of WebCT certified trainers. It sounds like the direction
you are taking with weekly departmental
trainings is an effective way to motivate and empower groups
within a discipline. Sounds as though you�ve done a good job on recognizing
a local process that could use
improvement and finding an appropriate solution."
