— Have I told a story today (so far)?

Forum Posts

Good forum posts are like good blog posts:

—Engaged, always focused on story, with emotional content

—Considered, responding to something (not preaching)

—Qualified, drawing on information outside of your head


In-World Presentation

Good presentations tell a STORY, too:

—Engaged, always focused on story, with emotional content

—Considered, showing you've thought about your material

—Qualified, building on accurate objective information

Good presentations don't just recount facts (no matter how attractively told: beware, self/marketing experts).


Important: Confidentiality

Good stories are authentic, too.

There can be no authenticity without openness.

There can be no openness without confidentiality and trust.

All information shared either in-world (Second Life) or via Moodle (password-protected) will remain confidential to course participants.

At the same time: always exercise caution with real information — as a rule, don't name names


Next steps
