Last night, the 3rd of November 2010, Louise and I met at the Technology Learning Centre to join the intended teleconference. We arrived there very early. We took the opportunity and discussed our plan once again. Louise again thought that the survey questions were too many and students would not be interested.  By then it was 6:00 already and we still were the first people to join the teleconference room. Louise advised it was still early as the teleconference started at 6:30 not 6:00. I don’t know why I thought the teleconference was starting at 6:00. Louise took the opportunity and started marking her students’ assignments. Katie later joined the room and started a great discussion. Well, the truth is she triggered a number of useful discussions. She first asked us about the progression of our work. She kindly asked about the survey we were conducting and the participants we were interviewing. We informed her that we were not doing very well as students did not have enough time to take part and the survey questions required relatively plenty of time.  It sounded that Katie was doing a great job. As a matter of fact it seems (from her plan) that she is doing an enormous survey. Good on her.

Later Liz and Rachel joined in. We asked Liz about the weather in Australia and because I had a problem with my mic, I asked Louise to ask Liz if she had seen Bronwyn in AustraliaJ.

We then talked about certain important aspects of the work we were conducting. Some useful tips and helpful ideas were delivered and discussed.

Later we talked about the “special topic by negotiation” we were doing. Liz wanted to know more about the requirements and the criteria. Katie kindly displayed them on the whiteboard.  Then the link to the recorded chat sessions was retrieved and displayed.

It unfortunately seemed that Bronwyn did not have time to join in and it was almost 7:00 and we thought that we should call it a day.
