 * Comments on structure, timing and program**
 * Well done! Good mix, pace, level of flexibility
 * Need more time for networking F2F. I suggest earlier start 9am, 11am morning tea, lunch 1pm, afternoon tea 2:30pm
 * Good
 * Really a valuable time, thank you
 * Good
 * Good
 * No complaints
 * I think the timing of the presentations needs to be looked at. A lot of presentations went overtime leaving less time for others at end
 * Jobs Australia conference same time but still managed to get to both
 * Good but would have liked a map of 3 floors, toilets, lifts, workshop rooms etc. next showcase would be good to have a page with numbers + names of presentations and presenters that can be matched with the program page we got
 * Good timing structures
 * After the school holidays is difficult to capture all interested parties from my workplace
 * Fine
 * Timing not good – sessions ran overtime – no one to check, and presentations were out of synch. Ended up missing some
 * Generally structure and timing ok. Lunchtime lecture a good idea. I think more time is needed for individuals to network. I think the workshop could have been left out – not sufficient time for presenters to see all the exhibits
 * Exciting, stimulating and innovative. A brilliant model. You should be congratulated!
 * Some events weren’t on. Some events were late.
 * Interesting presentations, timing over 2 days was about right
 * Not disappointing
 * Well balanced program
 * No real problems
 * Too much stuff, not enough time
 * Too much noise, theatrette setup dreadful for presenters – audience couldn’t hear presentations due to other things going on. Very poor organisation of theatrettes on top of other things
 * Timing for presentations – limited some sessions. Too much noise outside booths
 * Good
 * Having 2 keynotes in the middle of the day with lunch was brilliant. I cold not get away for 2 whole days but could attend them with some exposure to the showcase either side
 * Snapshots too short. Day one first 6 sessions – technology not working
 * Presentations went overtime. It was hard to keep track of which one was running or if the previous one had finished. Too short. Program handed out with snapshot timetable was useless – would have been better if had title/description
 * General structure excellent. Timing not so great. Printed program on the 2 sheets not the best interface – need to integrate
 * Disappointed that one session did not happen
 * Dreadful – A4 to A5 schedule with name of presenting organisation as well as number. Time for change over so sessions running over in one theatrette doesn’t impact on participants missing following presentations in other theatrettes running on time
 * Overlap occurred in sessions. Session I presented had a bare 10 mins due to earlier sessions running over time
 * Booths needed to be clearly marked and each team should have been allocated a clearly marked booth
 * Fair
 * Snapshots too difficult, too many, too close, too short
 * Well organised
 * Lunch lectures a great idea. 10 min sessions not long enough. Hard to get my head around the project numbers, theatres, times, themes etc. voice overs during snapshot sessions were a challenge to some presenters
 * 2 days is too long – many not able to attend both days
 * It was a bit hit and miss as to which project sessions you ended up in as some posters did not really give an indication as to what the project was – it was good when posters said what time session was on
 * Great
 * More time needed to set up before workshops. Some other form of identifying organisers eg. Different coloured name badges
 * Fitted in lots with flexibility
 * More time needed to attend workshops and presentations. More time needed to set up for presentations. Uniforms (fluro shirts or some other ID) to identify LS organisers who could assist
 * Booths too noisy for presentations. Lunch after speakers too hungry to concentrate.
 * Difficult in first week of term
 * Good
 * It would have been good to have list of participants or some way to find people from same section in other colleges
 * Probably a week or two too early in term
 * I had trouble moving from presentation to presentation
 * No problems
 * Theatrettes should have been on another level to eliminate unacceptable level of noise interference. More time needed for initial setup of presentations. Key personnel needed to be identified clearly
 * Great structure and timing of focus groups and presenters
 * Very good
 * Fine
 * Good
 * Hope to have program descriptions and workshop introductions pre-printed out next year so to attend relevant workshops and not miss out on them
 * Noise from outside made it difficult to hear in theatrettes
 * It was difficult to know what many of the sessions were about just from title – needs a description
 * Ok
 * Would have liked list of presenter times and project name/ presentation topics on first day – eg displayed for each theatrette or in program
 * Very good
 * Liked structure – great not to be tied to a display booth
 * So much to see, hear, do
 * Lunchtime workshops/address sessions a bit too long
 * Great except for 10 min slots – if technology a problem then it was held up and then I would miss the next one
 * All good. Not enough time between presentations – missed a few presentations or arrived at the end of them
 * Well structured – perhaps a week or two later would be better time. I felt very rushed trying to take 3 days away in first week back from holidays
 * Timing of short presentations made it difficult to network. Projects not finished so it was only a showcase of a moment in time
 * Very good – booths gave opportunity for independent reflective learning
 * Program was unbelievable !! what a puzzle! Snapshot presentations spoilt by enormous background noise. Also no info Thursday workshops beforehand
 * I loved the self selection of showcases. I think maybe 15 mins would be better or maybe people need more of an idea what they can get through in 10 mins so everything remains on time and you don’t miss out on the next presentation that you want to go to
 * Well planned and conducted in a professional manner
 * Well organised and structured
 * Ok
 * Good
 * Very good
 * Once again a difficult problem – timing. Directly after semester break was difficult to get group collaboration during vacation – let’s be realistic, we left it until the last minute!!
 * Many of the presentations ran overtime and people came in late which was rude and distracting
 * Good time of year – delays and over-runs (?) a bit of a bore
 * It was very difficult to hear presentations in theatrettes. Outside noise intruded too much and many speakers were unable to speak above the din
 * Good
 * Too quick
 * Very hard to hear during team snapshots due to external foyer noise
 * Great, loved the loose structure
 * From woe to go, a little more time to learn and prepare reports
 * Fab – couldn’t do any better
 * Seems fine
 * Short, sharp and full of useful information
 * Good
 * Despite gripes it was a terrific networking event
 * For teachers you couldn’t have picked a worse time – straight after holidays and the first week of a new term. Noisy talk rooms just unacceptable. Rego desk really needs improving. What happened to learning conversations?
 * Poor layout – noise from common area was invasive for snapshot presenters and audience – an insult to presenters and unacceptable, poor value for participants.
 * I was pleased showcase was mid-October. It forced me to get blog and wiki up-to-date and I’ll be much more proactive in updating these as I go rather than writing till a week before the end date
 * More info required ie. 2 x workshops on Thursday. What, where are they, who is speaking? – very poor communication.
