Hearing Every Voice - with the help of the Internet

This is the title of the workshop given my Michael Coghlan for Clesol2004, taking place in Christchurch, New Zealand from September24th- 27th.

More than 10 webheads from different parts of the world (Brazil, Colombia, Taiwan, Kuwait, USA, Japan) were online to greet and interact with the participants or left their messages in the various environments visited: Wimba Voice, Yahoo Messenger (voice and webcam enabled), Tappedin, Learning Times and Alado.

I have taken a screenshot to illustrate what this type of meeting looks like :-)
New literacies!
Buthaina Alothman's (Kuwait) page on the event explains it in more detail.
