The power of collaboration
We've set up a series of conferences where we can exchange ideas and resources in a secure environment.
Discuss & connect
You can use conferences to:
• solicit information on a variety of subjects
• make contact with your peers
• talk about a specific topic
• reduce telephone tag
The Faculty Area is an example of a discussion conference.
Learn
Conferences can focus on a single topic. For example, the Working with FirstClass conference is used to help you learn how to use FirstClass. In future, we could use conferences to extend traditional workshops by continuing the discussion and reflecting on the information.
Share resources
Conferences are also a great place to share resources. You can contribute or access:
• lesson plans
• sample problems
• primary source materials
• uploaded files
• references to web resources
Chat
In addition to conferences, you can also use a FirstClass Chat to connect with your peers.
