DE Oracle Live ImageStarting Fall 2008 Center for Support of Instruction (CSI) will be offering DE Oracle Live sessions. Using the Wimba system, the CSI team plans to host webinar sessions on topics related to distance education that are of interest to our faculty. Wimba allows many participants to view the presentation simultaneously, which can include slide presentations, demonstrations of software packages, audio and video components, and collaborative question-and-answer portions.

Announcements of scheduled sessions, including topic, days, and times, will appear on the Events page. Notification of upcoming sessions will also be sent via e-mail to registered DE Oracle subscribers. We hope to host multiple sessions at different times to accommodate our global faculty, but we will also have archives of the DE Oracle Live sessions available following the presentations.

We welcome your suggestions for topics of interest that you would like to see presented. Registered subscribers are encouraged to leave us a comment on this page with suggestions based on previous DE Oracle articles or on new topics you would like us to address in the future, consistent with the DE Oracle's mission. We appreciate that our innovative faculty will want to present in the future on DE Oracle Live, and presenter guidelines will be available after the first DE Oracle Live session to assist in that endeavor.

Thank you in advance for you suggestions and we look forward to meeting you online in the DE Oracle Live sessions.
