What made this workshop interesting was that I delivered it using a MediaWiki installation I had on a local area netwrk server. I chose this approach as I noticed other presenters using powerpoint and then having trouble with interactive session parts involving computer work. By using a wiki all the relevant information was delivered over the web to everyones individual machine, and the dynamic content had history and change control. By using the printable version link I could use browser rendering to infinately scale text information for projector delivery, and make an electronic pdf attendees.
