This group was formed as a first attempt at accomplishing what Webheads in Action does now; consequently this group is inactive now and its active members have migrated to Webheads in Action.

What were the 2002 sessions about?

EVOnline blurb in Tesol Blast: Writing for Webheads is an ongoing 'experiment in world friendship through online language learning' whose participants have been meeting weekly online since 1998. During that time, Webheads have experimented with numerous synchronous and web-based multimedia communications formats, and presented at several live and online conference venues. Proposal below.

Webheads in Action is for anyone interested in interacting online with this established community of ESL learners and facilitators in the course of participating in TESOL EV Online 2002. Participants meet for 8 weeks between January and March 2002 to help each other learn about forming and maintaining robust online communities. We will demonstrate and explore use of the latest synchronous and non-synchronous communications technologies, including video and voice, while showing delegates around the Webheads community in tours guided by community members who can appear online for the occasion.

Our Yahoo Group description: This group comprises participants in an event convened under the auspices of TESOL EVOnline 2002.

We will demonstrate our use of the latest synchronous communications technologies, including video and voice, while showing delegates around the Webheads community in tours guided by community members who can appear online for the occasion.
