User Created Content: Mini-Sessions @ Learning 2007
These are informal presentations and discussions that will be 20 minutes long (delivered twice) on Wednesday, October 24th. Imagine a huge ballroom with 40 clusters of tables and chairs – with high energy dialogues on this User Created Content in small groups of 10 to 20 colleagues.
Mini-Session Content, Design and Logistics:
- These are 20-25 minute “nuts and bolts” informal sessions focusing on a single idea.
- There will be a mix of topics from the lighter side to a specific practice, rant, discussion, story or even a plea for help.
- All content must be non-promotional.
- No media, computers or displays: just storytelling and dialogues!
- You will be given a flip-chart and markers to use at your table.
- All sessions will be numbered and attendees will rotate through by choosing two sessions in which to participate.
- Each Mini Session leader will need to repeat his/her topic twice back-to-back (with a short break in between).
- Leaders will allow for at least 5 minutes (or more) of interaction and questions (ideally throughout) and should prepare for a group as small as 4 to 6 people or as many as 30 folks.
