Peer-peer learning and networking, on-line
An internationally experienced Review Panel is currently providing us with an on-line critique of our Climate Change and Cleantech workshop series. To individual members, we provide training on request: features of our virtual office, synchronous and asynchronous collaborative processes, two videoconferencing platforms and any testing desired. The Review Panel is commenting on two aspects; namely, the content of our recorded workshops (webinars), and also on the methods we use in our protocol to assemble this virtual team and accomplish a review.
Our OLI meetings take place about once a week, even while some members are travelling to locations around the world. They tune in from their mobile devices.
In addition to providing us with a critique, our OLI meetings provide fantastic networking opportunities among peers. It’s a key incentive.
