Podcast: Clive Shepherd on synchronous online communications for learning

Xyleme Inc has just released this podcast in which I attempt to answer the following questions:

• Why is real-time online communication so hot right now?
• What does an organisation gain or lose when they switch from face-to-face to online communication?
• Why communicate live when you have the option of self-pacing?
• Is it possible for synchronous communication stand alone as an intervention?
• How are we doing so far in our use of synchronous communications?
• What does it take to facilitate a successful online event?

Thanks to Dawn Poulos for hosting the podcast so ably.
