Successful Adobe Connect tutorials - the student contribution is key

Visible to anyone in the world
I had a couple of Adobe Connect tutorials that seemed to work well last week. This was because students asked questions and these replaced the tutorial slides and plans I had made. Of course, I always have content prepared and if students stay quiet, I tend to go through the plan but this can seem mechanical and unrelated to what they really need - some students are strangers to me (from different groups, have been to tutorials with other tutors before) so I do not know the "gap" between where they are and where the course would ideally like to be. Students asking questions based on their own concerns enable me to really address the needs but it demands something of students and some are willing to ask questions, make comments etc.
