Hi everyone. I"m Terri Bateman, distributed learning facilitator at North Island College in the Comox Valley. I'm looking forward to liberating some online structures with you this week.
Hi Terri,
I think we have similar big questions around liberating structures online and that a few of us could connect just around that (Faith, Susan, Nancy...)
Interesting I didn't catch immediately that this IS a version of impromptu networking online! It does feel rather different to do it asynchronously. Maybe the forum structure adds some extra rigidity too. Wonder what it would feel like doing this as mini-videos...

Hi,
As Leva point out, the Impromtu Networking description is to 'rapidly' share challenges and expectations' - while the asynchronous environment enables a bit more time to think before responding. We sell that in online as something for the introverts, an affordance of online learning. It's an interesting juxtaposition and I'm looking forward to seeing where we go with it this week.
Mini videos are an interesting idea.

Hello Terri,
Ok you and Bettina are on to Beth and I ;) We are indeed giving things a try with our introductions based on Impromptu Networking. For the purpose of clarity we kept instructions simple...let's see how things turn out! The purpose of Impromptu Networking is for "rapidly sharing challenges and expectations and build connections". This still seems to hold true in this format.
Happy to see you joined us!
Cheers!
