In fact we just received an email announcement for two more virtual learning
opportunities. One of them, the Measurement one, was something that people
have expressed interest in in the past. Unfortunately it is scheduled for
April 21, pretty short notice. So scheduling might be an issue unless SLA
can give us a little more lead time. Venues that we might use such as the
Alameda County Conference Center (where we did the Patriot Act meeting) are
great and usually available pretty inexpensively but they get booked months
in advance. The other option is the "replay" option which rules out the
interactive portion of a program but may be enough to get what people need
from the workshop. In either the live workshop or the replay version, the
ability to link to the site via Internet connection to a large enough
display (and seating for the attendees) is all that is necessary.

Subject: SLA-SF: virtual learning series
I'm glad to see the interest in SLA's Virtual Learning Series. Thanks, Karin
Zilla, for bringing one of the sessions to the attention of the list & for
trying to elicit a place & scheme to hold it.
Here's my thought on this: Rather than have one individual (or ad-hoc
committee) take on the task of finding a venue, collecting fees etc, I think
it could naturally fall under the existing Program (or Professional
Development) and Hospitality committees to organize one or more Virtual
Learning sessions. I don't know how much lead time SLA HQ gives for these as
far as date and topic, but I'm sure one or two could be added to our
chapter's activities. Perhaps a single venue somewhere near a BART station
could be identified with the needed video and seating resources for repeat
visits, for example.
Probably too late for this year's "season" ? We should definitely bring this
up at the board turnover meeting in June and find out if the incoming
Program/Prof Develop/Hosp Chairs might be interested in making this part of
their offerings.
I'm really glad that SLA HQ is building this virtual learning series. I'd
love to see our chapter take advantage of good content, reasonable fees (the
more who attend, the cheaper!) and a great model for spreading knowledge.
My two cents,
Chris Orr
