NetGeners.Net Course Introduction Week 17th to 23rd of March – first events are set!

I am glad to announce that Dr. Sulayman K. Sowe from the University of Thessaloniki in Greece agreed to moderate a first video conference at the start date of the NetGeners.Net course on Monday the 17th of March at 14.00 GMT (UK time). If you like to participate at this event please sign up for it at the NetGeners.Net wiki (Note: you need to register at the wiki separately!)

As by today we have already registered course participants from Africa, Australia, Germany, India, Portugal, Singapore, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.

This is a promising group for the start and I hope that this diversity will still be enriched by participants from further countries over the next month.

On the more challenging side this diversity also means that it will be hard to organize virtual meet ups at a time that fits all.

For this reason we set up a list at the NetGeners.Net wiki where you can state at which day and time you like to have a video conference, chat or other activity to be organized by us during the introduction week. (Note: you need to register at the wiki separately!)

Finally, if you haven’t used flashmeeting before I highly recommend that you try it out some days before the actual video conference. We used flashmeetings many times over the past years and our experience is that first comers / newbies almost all of the time regret that they were not checking before that all of their video and audio settings are working! Don’t be scared, this is really not a difficult task, but better spending those minutes a day before, than missing part of the actual videoconference!

Best
