Discussion topics for the 2018 Whisper Workshop

The key theme for the 2017 workshop is research communication.
+ Creating and sustaining channels of communication.
+ How to encourage #circleofniceness and personal learning networks.
+ Practical insights into effective communication..

We set the topics for Whispercon through an 'unconference' voting process, so that things that most people are interested in can float to the top.

For this to work, please add any topics that you would like to talk about, or hear about. If you think of a topic, please add it here by 15 May 2018. You can suggest topics that you would like other people to talk about, but maybe check with them first.

The format for a discussion is up to you. You can provide a standard presentation with overheads (but leave lots of time for questions). You can lead a discussion. You can do something with a friend, or go it alone.

Once all the suggestions are in, we will vote for the ones that we want to hear about. In mid-May 2018, I will write to everybody to remind them to review the whole list and vote for the topics that they like the best. We will close of voting in mid-June 2018.

We will use the votes to construct the timetable for the day. If you are presenting, I should be letting you know by the end of June 2018 (if all goes to plan).
