Time is always of the essence in our busy lives and as I try to squeeze every ounce of time from every second of the day, I try to think of efficient and effective ways to address traditional activities. One activity which I have been considering recently is the attendance and the presentation at conferences. I have seen on twitter, examples of people who have presented at conferences virtually and recently I have been attending webinars virtually as well as listening to keynotes online. Last week I waffled about using Twitter at conferences and this week I wanted to waffle about attending conferences virtually. There are a wealth of conferences happening both nationally and internationally all the time. In my current role, the majority of my time is taken up with teaching and the associate tasks that accompany this - e.g. preparation and marking - which means the time for either exploring possible conferences or even attending them is limited. But is attending a conference virtually the best way? I thought I would waffle about the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.
