EmailIf you are unable to attend this year’s TESOL convention, or perhaps have a conflict in your conference planner, you can still listen to several presentations via a Webcast. The Computer-assisted Language Learning Interest Section (CALL-IS) is hosting these Webcasts on Adobe Connect. Here’s a list of their events taking place in the Electronic Village (EV): http://www.call-is.org/info/course/view.php?id=22.
If you notice, I’ll be giving the first one on Thursday! Each Webcast has a different virtual room. My room will have EVO in the hyperlink for the Electronic Village Online, of which I was a moderator. My session on Thursday is from an EVO 2010 session, but the one on Friday is for several sessions from EVO 2011. Remember that all of these events are taking place according to USA/CST which is referred to as “Chicago” time on the international time clock.
These webcasts will be recorded and later posted on the CALL-IS wiki or Moodle. Make sure you read the procedures for participation. It’s best to use a headset with a microphone to avoid projecting background noise (dogs barking, traffic, phones ringing, etc.). Additionally, you will need to download the Adobe Connect visual quickstart guide. Instructions are provided on the CALL-IS link above.

Dear Sandra,
Great idea to have these Webcasts, I’m not attending this year (looking forward to Philadelphya). I wish my work allows me to connect.
Greetings from Valencia, Venezuela,
María Irene Albers de Urriola.
Thanks, Maria! It was the idea of the CALL-IS. By the way, you can listen to the recordings afterwards on your on time. The CALL-IS Moodle will post the recordings, if you can’t listen in during work time
