Firstly: I have heard of myplick before but have never seen it used, so I needed to check this out. It seems it's free (always good when on a tight educational budget! ) and apparently one is able to share/embed presentations (including audio) on the web.
This sounds like something worth trying. (see myplick FAQ for more info )
Secondly: I discovered something about my own learning - a 20min presentation was too much for me! While the presentation was very informative I found myself twiddling my thumbs and looking out the window. I couldn't concentrate for that long with out doing something.
I found myself watching it in 3 stages over a couple of days...I guess that would be about 6 minutes each? Then, I was able to grasp some of the info ...and I think I'm finally starting to digest the information and understand it after reviewing it for the fifth, or sixth time.
Thirdly: Must say it has been nice to be able to go back and review. This is not something that can easily be done in a F2F presentation.
Key points of the presentation:
It seems there's a lot to consider when it comes to evaluation.

I had exactly the same probem Sue with trying to concentrate throughout a 20 minute presentation - my retention span was of 'goldfish' proportions. I know where I went wrong though - I wasn't doing anything but listening because it wasn't necessary to do anything else as I could play back as many times as I liked (one of the benefits of online learning). I found that if I made notes at the same time however, my concentration increased. Worked for me anyway.
great feedback Sue and Hilary about the evaluation presentation. I think it would be beneficial to break it into three parts. I will take a look at it and decide how this can be done. I like your idea of taking notes Hilary - the pause button makes this really easy doesn't it.
I am looking forward Sue to reading about your ideas about the importance of evaluation and your definition. also would be interested to hear about what you are already doing around evaluation in your organisation and your views about quality and eLearning.
