Audio as Online Conversation for Online Communities Experiment

I haven't been blogging much this month because I've been immersed in an online workshop on the topic of online facilitation with Nancy White at Full Circle.  The workshop has provided a wealth of learning about practical techniques and theory of online community building as well as allowed some time for experimentation or action learning.  Even better, the other participants, literally from all over the world, also shared their experiences.   One of the best learning experiences I've had in a long time - thank you Nancy and the group!

I came to the workshop with an interest in learning more about facilitation of blogging communities as well as how some of the new tools - like audio and video may be deployed.    One action learning experiment played with was titled "Audio As Online Conversation."    Some inquiry questions:

• What is the best way to weave audio into online community conversations?
• What are the challenges and opportunities?  

The graphic above will take you a visual summary of the conversation (another technique I learned from the workshop) or if you prefer a text summary.

I didn't get any audio by clicking on the little baloons. They just moved to the side and nothing else happened.

Maybe I'm not geeky enough.

Your subject is fascinating. I'm fascinated by the entire media/communication experience and have had a few adventures myself.

You could understand that better if you checked out my background and credits regardig media that are all over my blogspot site.

I enjoy your postings on the list. I had to copy and paste the link from the VlogDir forum.

Actually, I hope to create a VlogDigest which will be a series of links by category with a paragraph or two of description adjoining them.

Just wonder where you are located?
