**Summary** : In this session Alex Hayes took a number of online participants on a tour of whats possible and what should be considered for conducting online facilitation using both Adobe Connect and other spaces such as a wiki. Alex spent some time exploring the importance of language in online spaces, the nature of co-hosting and role definitions, the ability to use various levels of engaging learners ie. visual, audio, textual and Alex also swapped register to operate as the 'learner' through the session. Some time was spent on answering particpants enquiries and participants were given the opportunity to explore, interact and reflect on concepts raised in the session.
