We’ve got a small enough group here too that we can draw upon the chat for dialogue!

So, yes, introduce yourselves here: tell us who you are and where you’re joining us from today!

Hi! Mary Beth Messner, Director of Elearning at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio

If you’ve got questions for Bill and Jeff, you can ask those in the chat and Nate and I can amplify and voice

Christine Hinkley, Sr. Director Conferences and Events for OLC, coming to you from Ft. Myers, FL.

Or if you’d prefer, you’d be welcome to raise your hand and we can bring you “on stage” to unmute your mic (but no pressure!)

Good morning from Blacksburg, VA! I work at Virginia Tech with emerging academic technologies

Hello all! Calling in from “sunny” Portland, OR where it’s raining today…

Hi! Jillian, Outreach Coordinator at Oklahoma State University

Good morning! Lara Tompkins, Instructional Technologist at College of DuPage. I’m here to learn more about OLC Live and am interested in this topic

Agreed with Bill that access to more professional development experiences online has been awesome

(Even if I’m not always so good about setting aside all the time I’d like for attending all the great sessions...)

If you’ve just joined us, welcome! If you’ve got questions for our featured panelists, Jeff and Bill, feel free to contribute those in the chat

Nate and I will be sure to amplify any questions you have or you’d be welcome to raise your hand and unmute your mic to ask yourself if you’d like to “come on stage!"

We randomly sent out OLC coffee cups with Starbucks gift cards when we had to shift Innovate 2020 from onsite to virtual

Love that Christine! I never knew that

Aww, that is a nice way to reach people, Christine! Great idea

Coffee is always essential, that is one of the things I miss about being in person, the perpetual coffee stations

^this

Though I don’t miss the crankiness from everyone when the coffee inevitably ran out at around 2 PM 😂

We’ll do it again for Innovate 2021 since we will be all virtual again. Plus I have a lot of OLC coffee mugs in my office. :)

I will say that I have learned a lot of new technologies through our engagement sessions as a result of the shift to all virtual. That has been a positive.

Can you send me a cup already full of hot coffee right now Christine? Maybe HP has some tech for that?

Hate to go, but I have to set-up for an 11am session.

No worries, Christine! Thanks for joining us :)

My husband is in charge of delivering Starbucks to me every morning during this conference, Nate. ;)

Tell him cream no sugar, thanks!

I love this conversation. Will definitely come back to the recording to listen to the rest. Bye all! See you at the closing.

Are there folks here who feel like they have modified their tech set up during the pandemic to good results?

Still working on my tech set-up, so I would LOVE recommendations on good set-ups!!

SO.PAINFUL

That would be magic in an open office set up
