Yesterday Mike De Kreek and Josephine Lappia showed the most exiting interactive oral presentation I've ever seen. Every participant holds three different colored cards, i.e. red, yellow and green (as traffic-lights). They put general questions about their paper. If you want to examine a particular question, you should raise the green card. If the question isn't clear enough, you raise the yellow one. if the question has no interest for you, raise the red one (indeed, in this case people didn't raise any card at all.
From Josephine I learned I'm a knowledge broker, that is someone who loves to create connections between community of practices. Sounds good.
One interesting thing that was focused in this presentation was a common risk of publicly available e-learning content. The risk is that people out of your institution see and use the content far more than people within, and they are almost all free riders, i.e. they catch content put they don't contribute to its development. Let's describe it with a table metaphor: people join a table discussion, they don't say anything at all and at last they take proceedings without ever say goodbye.
Does anyone participating at conferences have a sense of deja vu?
