Re: Questionnaire on the ACT Live Conference

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your feedback and deep support Lou. I'll have to consider writing an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) or Guideline on how to use these technologies. Or I can simply link to articles describing it better than I could. That way it'll be less daunting for others.

C.PS: Oh and I enjoyed your company on Friday/Saturday.

 

Ok , 1. I live in Australia

2. Any Australian time is ok. 6am to 10pm.3. I will join you all the time (as often as is possible for me)...I'm happy to interact when I can.4. I am willing to come on board each week.

5. (oh, I don't know) I hope you weren't too bored on Saturday. I enjoyed your company.6 & 7. Advice given....8. I think a lot of people here are not very puter savy. I certainly have those moments by the buckets full when I'm accessing something different. I'm totally willing though. Perhaps others struggle with this online medium more than me so I can imagine saying " sign up for this and

then do that..and that...etc.etc " may be a bit daunting for some. Perhaps it would be good to get the movement on its feet and then add more or make changes later. Just my perception yeh?  

I love what you are doing and am willing to support you at every step. Thanks  again for all your efforts. Lou

Then again, trial-and-error, no? ;-)Alright, so here are a set of questions that would really inform me on how I could run this conference better. Really, your feedback is valuable to me!

Other (please specify)How long should each conference last?1 hour1.5 hours2 hoursOther (please specify)What should the minimum number of attendees be in a conference (including the host)?

Btw, when I say time zone, I meant the following: " A standard time zone generally refers to any of the 24 regions of the earth’s surface (loosely divided by longitude) in which standard time is

kept. However, the number of standard time zones is debatable and discussed among various sources, particularly with regard to the International Date Line. " Quote from this link.However, if I'm not mistaken I think you are currently in the Eastern Daylight Savings Time. So you don't have to correct it (unless I'm mistaken).

Hi and thanks for filling out the questionnaire.The difference between chat room and a conference is that not all conferences are done in chat rooms. Some can be done in voice conferences like Skype, video conferences or face-to-face.

Hope that was clear, C.
