Hi All
A few of my SME colleagues were discussing our VOOC's yesterday and in particular our sessions.  Could we have discussion/clarification: Are the sessions designed to introduce a topic and then point the learners to the resources - YouTube clip/Glogster/webpage or is the learner required to view the information before participating in the session? Any feedback would be great. Thanks Nicholle
