"Curtis Bonk was my favourite conference presenter. Slightly mad, wildly enthusiastic and full of insights. In this presentation he saw better technology coming together with changing learner demands to create new pedagogic models ... Go see this guy at Berlin's Educa conference - he's good."

As I mentioned, you have saved me a lot of money now that I don't have to go to a bunch of conferences to get an update on blended learning. Your talk was not only highly informative, It was engaging and entertaining as well. Thank you for traveling during your holiday to be at NAIT with us. I know the faculty audience was very appreciative of the opportunity to learn from you."

"I can't thank you enough for your outstanding contributions to our WiAOC conference. Feedback on your presentations suggests that participants were unanimously impressed by their high quality, and appreciative especially that you would take time to interact with them in two such sessions, and share with them substantial ancillary materials besides. Your contributions significantly enhanced the success of the three-day event, and we applaud your open source and open minded attitudes that coincided so productively with those of the organizers and participants. Thanks again." Vance Stevens Webheads in Action Online Convergence Coordinator December 5, 2005 "Bonk is striving once again to make the world flat by teaching people how technology, together with high-quality instruction, can shift paradigms for the better understanding of human potential."

"I wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed your presentations at the WebCT conference! Your practical ideas, presented in a creative environment, really made an impact on our Concordia team. Are you open to the idea of being a speaker at future faculty retreats or symposiums we are in the process of planning for the upcoming year?" Jean Rock Associate Dean Undergraduate Studies Concordia University St. Paul, MN July 21, 2004 "Thank you for your wonderful presentation yesterday on InterACTION in online courses. The strategies and activities that you mentioned could really revolutionize online learning in higher education. In the realm of online learning and cognitive psychology, are there any texts that you could recommend reading?" Jeff Krebs Instructional Technologist Union Institute & University April. 7, 2004 "I enjoyed both of your presentations this week at the ION (Illinois Online Network) Faculty Summer Institute. Your work is inspiring! You offered to send a whole variety of resources which I would like to request." Dan Balzer Teaching/Learning Instructional Designer Waubonsee Community College/ILCCO Learning Academy Sugar Grove, Illinois May 28, 2004 "I would like to thank you for you inspirational presentation on Friday 26th November in Birmingham. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to use a similar format for my house assemblies this week in a 11-16 secondary school in front of 450 kids each day. I used my own props, wore a ski hat, which could be worn in a silly way or in a serious way, but the response from the kids was overwhelming and I was able to put across a really serious point. I will now have to obtain some really good visual and sound files for my next presentation." Tom McIntyre Assistant Headteacher United Kingdom November 30, 2004 "First of all, thank you for the two of the best academic presentations I have ever attended. I was at both the Coventry ones on e-learning in Higher Ed. and the evening 'corporate' follow-up on Wednesday ... Not only did you bring me up to speed on how blended learning is taking off world wide, but also I learned lots about how to engage an audience and put info. across in a way that it really 'stuck'! the costumes were spectacular, the chocolates tasty and your casting of your 'mini-me' assistant was worthy of the 'West Wing' and the 'Sopranos' (I thought you had brought the guy all the way from the States but he told me afterwards, he didn't know he had the job until Wednesday morning!) BTW, I am saving the $million bill I won for my next visit to San Francisco." Colin Barnes United Kingdom November 26, 2004 "BTW I hosted the Happy Hour last night on Net*Working and you were a hit! I heard direct and side conversation how much people got out of your presentation and your use of Eluminate. Some lamenting having missed the first session like myself. Woohoo! The Bonkmeister strikes again!!!" Bronwyn Stuckey Director, Innovative Educational Ideas Australia November 10, 2004 "I checked out your site. It's fantastic! I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of reading in the future. I really enjoyed the seminar today. A lot of super ideas. Almost made me wish I was starting my masters at Indiana this fall. I think you've found your niche in Instructional Technology….can't imagine you, with your personality as an accountant." Ann. M. Jenkins Distance/Global Education - instructional Designer Western Iowa Tech Community College April 6, 2004 "As I told Tom (our instructional technologist), my time with Curt today was fantastic. I really resonated with the idea of us being at the heart of a perfect storm. Like the characters in the movie, I have the optimism to believe that if I just point the right direction and goose the engines a bit, I can make it out of this alive!" David Weaver Maricopa County (Arizona) Community College District January 14, 2004 "Curtis, you were a tremendous hit! In fact, I heard from a few people who said the enjoyed your presentation more than any other speakers, even those sponsored by the District. Thank you for following up with more information which ill share with the participants. We hope you can come back again!" Naomi O. Story Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning Mesa Community College Maricopa County (Arizona) Community College District January 15, 2004 | |||||
