  About Webheads inAction Webheads is a world - wide, cross - cultural, and vibrant online - community of educators with an open enrollment for anyone who wants to join . Webheads in Action was created in 1997-8 by Vance Stevens, in Abu Dhabi, Maggi Doty in Germany, and Michael Coghlan, in Australia, for ESL learners and facilitators as a student - teacher community . It has expanded to encompass a myriad of educators involved in e - learning in TESOL EVOnline ( Electronic Village ) and other language or cultural - based curricula . Webheads meet online regularly to explore the latest synchronous and non - synchronous communications technologies, including video and voice, to adapt and demonstrate new innovative ideas for e - learning and classroom curriculum . These educators also display a deep warmth and dedication to helping others . They are evolutionary and enterprising scholars who are harmonious and know how to have a lot of fun .

  Hi Mona, We've received feedback from our referees on the proposal you submitted to http :// cfp . wiaoc . org . One referee requested clarification : We don’t know where the synchronous event will take place . The summary does not clearly indicate how the presentation will be developed. Now, if you want to give the presentation, and we'd encourage you to do so, we will have to help you with our tools . This can be arranged once your proposal is accepted . We will be using http :// www . webheadsinaction . org for our asynchronous presentation development . It would be possible to create an 'event' here asynchronously, and I would be happy to allow you the opportunity, but I think you should give your presentation synchronously in order to put it on the schedule and call attention to your discussion .

  The choices inyour case would be: Learning Times or Alado . My preference is Learning Times http :// tinyurl . com / y3eh and the other is http :// alado . net / webheads . We can you one - on - one help with either venue if you would like to be scheduled . Other options would be Skype ( for just speaking ) and http :// www . tappedin . org if you want to conduct your session in text chat . If you want to proceed can you visit http :// wiaoc . prof2000 . pt , update your proposal, and address any issues here you think are valid ones and let me know when done . While you're at it, can you visit http :// schedule . wiaoc . org and select a time for your synchronous presentation . Let me know if you have any problem getting back to your proposal, in which case you can send me the text you wish changed . Hope to hear from you soon , Vance
