I really hope there are more events like this, as they promote curiosity in new
platforms
Particularly enjoyed the well-executed
and intriguing competition…
Learnt about Powtoons:
subsequently used it in our online
learning resource
Love Wunderlist!
Everything I’ve heard about
these sessions has been good
Really useful to see how colleagues were using
tools
Really great to see what colleagues
are doing and feel part of a wider
team
I’m definitely enrolling on a
MOOC
I really enjoyed the event and thought it was well-organised
I’ve enrolled on a MOOC, starting next
monthFascinated by creating short
videos with Animoto
Great idea: something
different to do

Encouraging participation• Posting comments on Padlet• Subtlety• Flattery• Incentives (prizes, appraisals)
