Conducting conference calls.

Conducting a conference call essentially is the same as conducting a meeting. The author writes the article assuming that the conference calls are audio only (no visual interface). Keeping this in mind, the main differences between conducting a conference call and conducting a face-to-face meeting are that: 1) the participants may live in geographically remote sites, 2) each participant must take special care to eliminate noise distractions, and 3) the moderator must keep the meeting on track because of the expense associated with using a conference bridge. The author shares tips for conducting effective conference calls and two conference call checklists designed to facilitate planning, execution, and follow-up.

On mentoring.

Mentored individuals develop into more broadly skilled employees than do those without mentoring. Mentors, protégés, and organizations benefit. As the average working laboratorian population ages toward retirement, organizations may wish to develop mentoring programs to help retain unwritten operations knowledge in the workplace.

First impressions: using an electronic utility for web-assisted teaching.

Using a web utility such as Blackboard to post handouts and announcements for students can better meet both student and instructor needs. Students can retrieve the handout whenever and wherever they want. Instructors can reduce the number of stored hard copy handouts (because they can be stored electronically) as well as reduce handout revision time (because they already are stored in electronic form). There is a learning curve to master for both students and instructors. Although this is not a perfect tool, it has the capacity to improve paper management issues for teachers, improve student access to documents and targeted supplemental learning aids, engage student interest in course content through technology, and encourage students to take responsibility for their own education. This article shares the authors' first impressions with using an electronic utility for web-assisted teaching.
