What is EVO?

 

The EVO is a creation of TESOL's CALL Interest Section. In this age of electronic communication it seems a natural way to bring the issues of our profession to the international stage. Our goal is to allow learning anywhere, anytime, with as little expense as possible for a global audience. Thus EVO moderators and trainers are all volunteers, and participants need only provide their own Internet access to take part in activities. Your contribution as a Moderator is a significant act of volunteerism, and forms an important service to our profession. We on the Coordination Team also hope it will be a valuable professional development experience for you. Want to know more? Read What is EVO?

 

 

What is the EVO Moderator training about?

 

EVO isn't just a collection of online courses. It is a unique experience in that your "students" are also teachers and peers. And because everything about EVO is volunteer, you will have to treat them a little differently than paying customers. EVO Moderator training thus has two goals: to get you familiar with several free and easy-to-use online tools that will make your course work successfully; and to help you create a warm, hospitable online environment for your participants. The training will help you understand what to expect in a six-week session, give you time to polish up your syllabus, and make you an expert in the tools and techniques that lead to a successful experience for both you and your participants.

How can I get my photo to show up on the Groups Members page?

 

Use your Yahoo! 360° to put your image on the Groups Members page. If you don't have a 360° page yet, skip to "B" below:

 

A. You already have a Yahoo! 360° page:

1. Sign in to Yahoo! 360°.

2. Make sure you've uploaded a personal photo. If you haven't

uploaded a photo:

  • Click My Page in the navigation bar.
  • On the left, click Add a Photo.
  • Follow the guidelines to upload a photo.
  • Click Save.

3. Click Settings in the navigation bar.

4. Under "Yahoo! IDentity Display," find the same Yahoo! ID or

profile you use in your Yahoo! Group. Make sure that checkbox is

selected -- associating that profile with Yahoo! 360°. If you don't

associate a profile with Yahoo! 360°, your photo won't show up in

Yahoo! Groups.

5. Choose either:

  • Display me as: (your nickname) or
  • Display me as: (your Yahoo! ID)

6. Click Save.

Your photo will now automatically appear in Yahoo! Groups!

 

B: If you don't have a Yahoo! 360° page:

1. Go to http://360.yahoo.com to set up a page.

  • Sign in with your Yahoo! ID.
  • Click Get Started.

2. After you create your presence on Yahoo! 360°, upload your

photo.

  • Click My Page in the navigation bar.
  • On the left, click Add a Photo.
  • Follow the guidelines to upload a photo.
  • Click Save.

3. Change your identity display to have the photo appear in

Yahoo! Groups.

  • Click Settings in the navigation bar
  • Under Yahoo! IDentity Display, find the same Yahoo! ID or profile you use in your Yahoo! Group. Select that checkbox — associating that profile with Yahoo! 360°.
If you don't associate the profile with Yahoo! 360°, your photo won't appear in Yahoo! Groups.

4. Choose either

  • Display me as: (nickname) or
  • Display me as: (your Yahoo! ID).

5. Click Save

Your photo will now show up in your Yahoo! Group.

Note: Groups currently only supports photos on the Members page. If

you're represented on 360 by an avatar, that won't show up yet. But

we're working on it!
