The ability to interact with colleagues is paramount to effective learning, high-quality professional development and networking activities. As such, all presentations delivered for LTLOC involve some form of interactivity with other people.

Presentations may be conducted live online via virtual audio-enabled classrooms or chat rooms, or asynchronously using threaded text or voice discussion boards, web papers, or via a combination of live and on-demand tools.
