Well, as often happens with technology there was a glitch Friday evening. Really there were several. My PPT file was over 8MB and took a long time to load into Adobe Connect/Presenter. There were audio issues with almost 20 seconds of delay. We opted to "punt" and try again on Saturday.
Saturday went much smoother. It was a unique experience for me, presenting without any audience feedback. I never knew what the response was. So, it was gratifying to receive these two emails from Rob, the instructor:
That was really an incredible presentation. The students were very interested in your topic and talked about it quite a bit afterward. Two students in particular were looking forward to this topic (the others didn't understand the Semantic web initially) and were disappointed that the opportunity to hear you "almost" eluded them on Friday. We were so glad you accommodated us.
You weren't aware, but the Library and Information Management Dean happened to pay an unannounced visit to the class just before your presentation. She stayed and watched. Off microphone she was telling the students that your information/presentation was perhaps one of the most important things they could learn in the entire course, and even the foundation for other courses. Thought you would be interested.
