stafforientation20

After 8 months and 2 missed staff orientations (1, an e-learning conference, 2, an e-learning forum meeting), I'm in the middle of attending staff orientation for my institution.

Set-up: 2 days with all new staff members (17) in a classroom. Key figures from around campus come to talk about their section, the significance to the organisation, how it affects new staff and what they can do to help. Also, taken on 2 campus tours along the faculties & facilities and introduction to health & safety.

What I missed: - making connections with participants & presenters. Many presentations are lectures. - the other 250+ staff members on and off campus (will only meet abt 30 people over the 2 days) - technology (ok our shared drive was down for most of the day1 afternoon, but even then technology would have been mainly PowerPoint) - dynamic information such as links to resources (handouts will be outdated in few weeks/months.Point me to place where most up-to-date information are stored) - a sense of our organisational culture

What would Orientation2.0 look like? And how could it contribute to a learning school or organisation?

Please add suggestions below:

Suggestion: Use quest (combined on-campus and web) and let participants solve in groups. Name/Blog: my own suggestion
