Interesting post by Lilia Efimova…
Although she comments on f2f events and conferences, this made me think of conferences online I participated like Global Learn Day Events and the coming WiAOC convergence and was wondering whether they share the same characteristics.
She mentions two extremes in f2f presentations:
centralised/authority – “star performers” who can hold attention of big groups with finely crafted messages and engaging interaction style
distributed/community – “open space” – designed so everyone can attract as much attention as it’s worth in a particular group
Lizel Lawley discusses the backchanneling , multi-tasking and disruptive behaviour which may occur depending on how the presentation is held.
Food for thought…will be back on this later.
