1. submit 1 or 2 proposals to do this as a session during ETUG (I’m thinking one technical, one more about teaching with it.) These would obviously be short

2. do something “afterhours” during ETUG, most likely on the Monday evening

3. do a half-day Wednesday morning; unfortunately this would mean staying an extra day for those folks from away, but it is the option that represents the most concentrated block of time

4. self-organize during ETUG (this is what happened at Open Ed ‘09 in the hallway) and simply jam on whatever comes up for as long as we like. this is possibly the most ‘camp’-like approach, but people might have to forsake proper ’sessions’ to do this

Personally, I am leaning towards #1 and #2 – while it would need to be accepted as a proposal, if we could get 2x 1 hr sessions early in the conference, it would allow people to meet and connect, and then maybe carry that on in the evening at the pub. It’s the least disruptive to the conference and to people’s travel schedules, and I think it makes good use of f2f time to do things we can’t do as well online – i.e. make the personal connections and start the conversations that we can then keep going online.

Those are just my thoughts. If others agree, we’d need to get proposals in to ETUG PDQ! Ideally they would come from someone *other* than me – one person to convene a session on “pedagogical uses” and another on “wpmu geekery” (or not, just my suggestions). Let me know your thoughts, cheers, Scott

Timing: I could probably accommodate whatever works for most.

Thanks for initiating the conversation!

I am very interested in this workshop and have many of the same questions as Keith. We are using WP as a modified LMS and would love to discuss ways to make it all more seamless. We have implemented a forum this time through and I am a bit underwhelmed with the functionality, so am also interested in finding ways in centralizing some of the discussions.
