As part of finishing my #CMALT portfolio I have been working on completing a section on communication. The example I am using is leading a small team in delivering an online conference, in this case ALT’s first wholly online winter conference in December last year.
Some of the things I have been reflecting on re communication are:
- delivering live events when you are not all in the same place and using online communication methods to help bridge the gaps;
- how online events compare with face to face events when it comes to communication and leading the delivery team;
- how to communicate when, yes, the network you and participants depend on goes down the day before the event…;
- using group communication as a way to manage and problem solve.
I will share what I have come up with and my reflections as part of my CMALT portfolio in due course. Sharing one example already, you can watch Martin Hawksey and me welcoming participants to day 1 of the conference in the video below:
