National Distance Learning Week<\/a> 2015 has been a whirlwind of free webinars and events across the country and even a few other countries participated as well.\u00a0 I'd like to share with you a few of the webinars I attended that I found interesting and useful. When you click on these links, you'll be taken to Blackboard Collaborate so you'll need the Bb Collaborate Launcher<\/a> installed in order to view the archived presentations.<\/p>\n

\"Discover The Latest Mobile Learning & Collaboration Technology<\/a>\" This one includes a discussion about the merits and disadvantages of native apps and web-based apps as well as some good questions posed by the participants.<\/p>\n

\"Virtual Presence: Inspire and Engage in the Virtual Classroom and Beyond\"<\/a> An actually inspiring presentation to me as a trained actress discussed techniques to use as an instructor in an online environment to engage your students.<\/p>\n

\"10 Signs That the Shift to Digital Is Underway \u2013 and 5 Ways to Get Ahead of the Curve!\"<\/a> One of the signs is that we have proof that students really do their homework at 1am!\u00a0 This presentation contains several resources including the one below.<\/p>\n

e-Literate TV is also an interesting concept introduced in this latter presentation. What do you think of it?
