Our challenge wasn&#8217;t related to number of people (like the example in the video) &#8211; instead, our challenge was distribution and synchronicity (or lack thereof!). My collaborators in this effort:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/billkrebs\/\"> Bill (AgileBill) Krebs<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/in\/sue-reber-57b2ab1\">Sue Reber<\/a> were instrumental in making this all work. The approach we landed on was as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leverage existing face to face content (approximately 18 hours of materials)<\/li>\n<li>Stretch out the schedule &#8211; rather than trying to deliver over two days, deliver over 9 weeks<\/li>\n<li>Connect live, via video each Friday afternoon.<\/li>\n<li>Lead facilitator (Bill), created a video each work highlighting a &#8220;word of the week&#8221; &#8211; providing a theme and asynchronous interaction<\/li>\n<li>MS Teams was used for the cohort to share learning, questions and interact as a group and with the facilitator. Provided a great way to explore ideas in between live (synchronous) sessions.<\/li>\n<li>Each student was asked to create a learning portfolio &#8211; adding to it each week based on what they learn in class and what they learned trying to apply new concepts in their day-to-day efforts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In future explorations, I&#8217;d like to connect this to chatbots leveraging AI\/ML building on my previous efforts in <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/leeackerman\/mobile\/\">mobile learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In wrapping up, how are you using MS Teams and\/or Slack to further advance learning? Are you tying it to formal learning? Informal learning? A mix? And how are you integrating chatbots into the equation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m a fan of this video from MS Inspire 2019, where Dr. David Kellerman, discusses the use of MS teams along with some Azure based capabilities to enhance the learning experience for a large class at the University of New South Wales.
