A Great 4 Days of Shadowing!

I spent well over 40 hours of shadowing time with DLC on a Blended Learning project they were creating for global use by a high profile multinational corporation. Here's a video clip that summarizes my experiences during those four days.

Shadowing In Earnest During Reading Week

Reading Week has begun at Centennial College and I'm using the time to work on my class assignments. Last week I met face-to-face for the first time with Christine Link and Dan Cully at DLC. My shadowing work with them will fit nicely into Reading Week since the project I'm shadowing is having its main video shoot this week. I'll help Dan onsite in any way possible, including making still photographs (for later use within the Blended Solution structure of their project). I should point out that I signed a confidentiality agreement with DLC and will not be referencing details of the project or the name of the client, just generally describing my duties and what I'm learning as I shadow.

The video shoot starts tomorrow and goes for about three days. I'll liase with Christine and Dan today by phone to finalize all details. I'll have accumulated much more than the required 20 hours when this week is done, but the main thing is to do a good job for DLC, since they've been so generous towards me.

I have not heard lately from Stephan Lalonde at Infinite Media about my other shadowing possibility. I think he's dealing with more immediate issues. I'll not contact him until my main work at DLC is completed. then perhaps I'll see if spending time shadowing there is still viable. Perhaps I'll volunteer a day or two to them after this semester ends. I'd worked for them as a freelance writer last spring and I certainly want to maintain my relationship with them.
