Do this over video conference and you would save petrol, time, effort and a neck ache.

Of course, use a stable platform such as linux, not windows tat.

another irony, prob already pointed out, the fact you were using much more amazing technology to create this than the projectors they were using.

Oh hah, no probs. I don't have the exact comment, but it went a little like this:

We didn't quite have a guru teaching us, but we are supposed to be the third best education studies/teacher training college in the in the UK. The lecturer was using webcam to connect with a computer in a classroom, but it kept freezing and was out of synch.

This year im doing a module on how ICT can affect the future of education. Lets hope its different from last year's lecture :D

Hah no, I don't think he was a guru, but indeed the lecture was on the uses of technology in education. You wouldn't have thought the course was voted 3rd best in the country for teaching education/teacher training. I dread to think how other universities are perfoming. Ouch.

was your lecture actually about the use of technology in education? This was presented by one of the gurus of tech in ed. The video is poor quality, but it was still a very ironic thing to be seeing when sitting in that theatre. Many people were shuffling in the awkwardness. Several left.
