1. Workshop design: planning and preparation
1.1 Spatial design and layout
How is the virtual physical space for delivering the workshop designed and utilised ?
Addressing pragmatics of SL environment
1.2 Instructional design To what extent are the learning objectives, outcomes and goals organised ?
Structured
1.3 Organisation of instructions and discourse To what extent are the instructions and discourse organised in advance ?
Pre-prepared
1.4 Physical organisation of learning material In what form are the learning materials
made available to the participants ?
Structured folder(s) and givers devices
1.5 Business model What is the economic model for learner participation ?
Free with tip box
1.6 Maturity level | Development version What is the maturity level of the workshop and its life cycle?
Fully tested
1.7 Comments about planning and preparation:
The participants were seated in a semi-circle, facing the instructor, who was standing in front of a large slide presenter, all within range, therefore not too demanding on camera control skills. The workshop was very structured, with plenty of visuals to help participants.
2. Workshop implementation: delivery of instruction

Informal assessment

None
2.3 Prior knowledge How is prior knowledge recalled and connected to the workshop activities?
On demand
2.4 Preparation of user interface and viewing controls To what extent are the instructions organising the client user interface and camera controls given ?
No instructions
2.5 Technical preparation of participants What technical advice and background information are provided?
Instructions cover different technical issues definition and identification of prim
2.6 Conversational flow How is the conversational flow structured between tutor and learners ?
Ordered and controlled progressively by behavioural rules, interaction policies, textual codes, scripted objects and communication tools plus Q/As
2.7 Communication dynamics What are the dominant communication dynamics during the workshop?
Tutor <-> Learner
2.8 Movement of learners and teachers How are the the movements of participating
avatars in the learning space?
Constrained sit/position for learners and free movement for teachers
2.8 Presentation of outputs and results How are the expected outputs and results presented ?
Illustrated at varying stages of development
2.9 Delivery of learning material How are the learning materials given to learners ?
