In my sessions, I emphasize the importance of focusing student's attention right at the beginning of the sessions, because I've seen to many examples of introductions like these videos "SET #1 for Public Health Lecture" and "SET #1 for Gait Demonstration".
What have you liked about SCoPE?

The people, ease of use, variety of topics, email notification

What would you change?
Nothing

What are your ideas for future activities?
I'd like more about active learning strategies that aren't discussion based.

Check out the video for an incredible example of online collaboration. Also I wrote an article about teaching collaboration in medical education based on J. Salmon's 5 stages of collaboration model. I notice she is here and want to thank her for her previous Scope session.
Integration with other institution tools is a frequent issue for IT- for example our university wants online tools that automatically connect to our student management system so profs don't have to worry about manually adding and deleting students every semester.
