CEEPS 2003 Workshops

The CEEPS conference uses the powerful Virtual Space format to present workshop sessions.  Even though many of our participants were new to this concept, several of them came with prepared topics, some including handouts, which was terrific to see.  This is exactly what V-Space participation is all about.  Others made requests for sessions they would like to see, and indeed those sessions were created on the spot by fellow participants with knowledge and experience to share!

The following is an overview of some of the sessions presented:

	"Influential Dice: A new activity to support Stephen Covey's Spheres of Influence" presented by Andrew Welch
	"Mind Mapping: A Creativity Tool" presented by Claudia Valle

As is common at Virtual Space conferences, instead of hearing: "there are no good/relevant sessions for me", we heard: "I can't fit in all the sessions I want to attend!"  Fortunately, we had just the right number of people to be able to adjust and tweak the schedule until everyone was able to attend the sessions they really wanted to be at.
