CIPS Member Speaks On-line
Stephen Ibaraki, I.S.P. to Host On-line
Education
News from National reviewer and interviewer, Stephen Ibaraki, I.S.P., will
be the host of an on-line education session surrounding Windows2000. This
session will be web broadcast by SmartForce, the world's largest e-learning
company as determined by IDC (revenues three times that of its nearest
competitor).
These broadcasts, called SmartSeminars, are webcast events that combine
video, interactive slides, and chat areas to create a rich learning
environment. Each event is delivered in a two-part format. Firstly, the
audience will have the opportunity to watch a video of Stephen in discussion
with a SmartForce interviewer. This video is accompanied by a slide
presentation in the main part of the screen, which can include weblinks,
rollovers, Flash and other interactive features.
Poll questions are also sent to the audience, to build up a sense of their
interests and engage them further in the event. During the video part of the
event, audience members can submit their own questions using the message
center in the lower right of the screen.
The second part of the event is a live question and answer session. Over a
live audio feed, the expert and the interviewer discuss a range of questions,
including those that have been submitted by the audience. The results of live
poll questions are also addressed in this session. This session for Stephen
will occur sometime in October.
Once the event has taken place, the whole session (video, slides, and
question and answer discussion) is archived and made available on the
SmartForce site.

The live event will take place on November 14, 2000.
