A Remote Guest in a University Classroom (again!)

This week, I got to participate in a question & answer, online, with students in SOCW 6355: Advanced Use of Information Technology in Human Services, a Master's Degree-level class at the University of Texas at Arlington School of Social Work, something I also did in 2007. I have done similar guest spots for classes at the LBJ School of Public Policy at the University of Texas at Austin and for Volunteer Program Planning and Evaluation, a graduate-degree program at the University of North Texas, in 2001, 2003 and 2004.

I really enjoy lecturing, or just simply answering questions, online with students. It's great when live audio and even video can be involved, but instant messaging works well too (I'm a fast typer), as does a bulletin board setting where questions and answers happen over the course of several days.

Want to give it a try for your conference, workshop or class? Contact me! Also see this list of my workshops and classes to date.
