Just finished a session - 9 people came and it's getting easier. Made much more use of the breakout rooms tonight and this worked well, especially for those who had microphones - I think I'm going to encourage people more strongly to get microphones, because it's a much richer experience for all if you can use voice. Discovered that the participants can move the slide show on themselves when they are in the breakout groups, so that was a bit of a revelation, and made managing them much easier. I asked the learners about the breakouts and they were very positive about them - said that they gave them time to think.
In terms of the material, had a bit of a re-think about what is important to teach them. Things do go slower in on-line teaching, and I think I am being drawn into too much detail (especially with pronouns.....) I need to pare it back a bit and keep up the levels of practice.
