LINGOs is looking for ways to caffeinate our community and encourage buzz among members. We know you are short on time, and we are in many time-zones, and folks are traveling and in meetings a lot. We are going to experiment in 2013 with some Espresso Shots!
We'll build on the enthusiasm around the fantastic "speed dating" session at the LINGOs 2012 Member Meeting, and test out some short-member recorded topics, and have an asynchronous discussion first, and then occasional virtual gatherings around the most discussed topics. Please stay tuned for more details!
In 2011-12, The LINGOs community joined together monthly or everyother month for a "virtual coffee break," to informally discuss issues that surface from our LinkedIn group and are generating lots of discussion.
In 2012, members added demofests that provided fellow members with an opportunity to see a variety of solutions to common eLearning challenges we all face in providing engaging eLearning that is appropriate for a global audience, often faced with challenges in terms of connectivity, common language and cultural differences. List of past Coffee Breaks and Demo Fests: links to recordings of past events are with event below.

September 13: Virtual DemoFest: Preventing Harrassment at a Global NGO JoinGlobal Giveback 3 volunteer Nigel Ribeiro of Essential eLearning, demos the course he designed for FHI 360 on preventing harassment in the workplace. Nigel used xtranormal and Articulate Storyline to develop the course, which is partly narrated by two mock FHI 360 employees and partly scenario-based (drawn from FHI 360 harassment policy). The final product is a creative, informative, and fun learning approach to address a serious topic that impacts FHI 360’s staff worldwide.
