| Abstract: | The National College for School Leadership (NCSL) exists to serve the development needs of school leaders. The college has begun to use web conferencing in several ways in its professional development programmes, strategic initiatives, support and networking opportunities. Externally it is used in its work with school leaders, education experts and policy makers. Internally it is used for staff meetings and for CPD provision. Web conferencing tools offer a range of modes of interaction including audio, chat, text, desktop sharing, presentations and video conferencing. Such tools thus have the potential for multi-process learning. This research investigated the ways in which organisers can promote multi-process learning using the tools. A literature review was carried out to provide background on the current thinking about learning through web conferencing; this drew on material published about a range of web conferencing tools currently available. A selection of recorded internal and external NCSL web conferences were chosen as case studies; and these provided the data for analysis. Qualitative grounded analysis of the content in these web conferences was carried out, independently, by each of the researchers. This provided core categories for use as we sought to reach an understanding of the learning processes taking place. Conclusions were drawn and related to the current literature. From this analysis a model was developed that offers potential for further development and review. A version of this model of multi-process learning in web conferencing is put forward in this paper.
