More thoughts on a professional development conference

I’m trying to nail down what topics might be suited to a hands-on conference (and after that, I can figure out whether online or in a venue makes more sense). My initial thoughts:

  • Installing a wiki
  • Adding plugins to a wiki
  • Installing either Movable Type or WordPress
  • Adding plugins to the above
  • Project management

I’m also reviewing Five Weeks To A Social Library to see what lessons I can learn from it. And I need to check out some of the resources on the Online Training Resources page on the Library Success Wiki. I’m a bit worried that I’m reinventing the wheel here.

    Hi Stephen -

    You might want to consider training in and about virtual worlds - not only Second Life but that would be the obvious place to start. I’d also look at distance education/distance services, global virtual collaboration techniques, SEO for the blog you already have a bullet point on.

    Hope all is well.
