Media “Options” Menu
• Behaviour is odd• Only available when you
are “presenter”• May hide behind the main
window• Turn on camera, then
select options• Use to “Lock Talk” if you
are delivering a lecture

Good practice?• Try it out first. Have a practice session.• Speak in short sentences. (Even if you are me.)• The talk button takes a moment to work • Seek feedback on attention often• Slide transitions don't work• Desktop sharing and application sharing don't work• You will get through about half of face-to-face• Encourage a back channel - and follow it• If there is silence it is often because people are reading the
back channel - not because sound has failed• Have a collaborator watch the backchannel for you• Discourage the use of cameras "in the room”• If you are the presenter and you are on camera - remember -
you are on camera (hand/nose no no!)

Distributed collaboration
• Group-work online?– Tools– The problem of sharing in this course

• Given the complexity, how can we develop appropriate social citation practices for this course, and for courses we teach?
