What is a Workshop?
Workshops are conducted on line using IM style text chat but run in a group environment. They can range from simple question and answer sessions to hands on experiences and exercises. Workshops are fun and easy and anyone is invited to participate. Workshops start promptly at the workshop time (when the counter hits zero) and run about an hour to an hour and a half. We hope to see you there. The easiest way to start is to use the provided (above) chat interface to join the workshop.
