On Instructional Technology and Face-to-Face Interaction

I recently spent four hours in a training session, during which this was all I could see of the instructor without straining my neck. The classroom that I prefer has monitors embedded beneath glass-topped tables.

  • The instructor was sitting. Yes, a stool, or even a simple wooden platform, would have made eye contact a lot easier.

  • Was the instructor sitting or standing? I prefer holding training courses in rooms with embedded monitors but if the room looks like the one in your photo I feel that I have to stand so that I can see the people I am training and they can see me. Few computer training rooms have tall stools which would give the instructor a chance to rest and still be seen.

  • Yes, but you got to work on those GIGANTIC machines! lol... hilarious photo. Worth a thousand words.
