The language of feedback


feedback from facilitators


“Some good aspects but I found it hard to keep with the texts coming in at the end and shame people could not use the mic more.

Too much of me talking and without people taking the mic there's a limit to the value of it being mainly messaging.”

“It was a pleasure, and I enjoyed it. ”

“I found delivering the TLC webinar very useful to get views from many people and to be able to record them to listen and read later.”

informative, and a great way to connect with others

feedback from participants


Good to share practice, nice to be consulted.

It was interesting to see the technology in action, and to get some idea of its possibilities and limitations.

I couldn’t hear it.

Good to see the interaction with this medium.
