A Guide to the Virtual Conference.
 |
There is a guest speaker for each session on the 12th
September who will be answering questions about their paper rather than
presenting the information. They will expect delegates to read their
paper in advance. You can find
the papers here and see
timetable here.
|
 |
We are all equal and we ask everyone who visit's to share their
information, thoughts and perceptions.
So
please feel free to post any information or upload any papers or
PowerPoint's you may have and want other people to read and/or know
about. Please note - you must own the copyright of any
documents uploaded - or have permission to do so from the author.
|
 |
If
we don't know an answer to a question - we will endeavour to find
someone who does! We will make every effort to invite the right
person in to answer a question or provide extra information.
|
 |
Don't expect an immediate response. This is an 'any-time, any-place'
conference so people can add to the conference 24-hours a day, 7-days a
week, before and after the conference date. The idea is to keep coming
back to see who has responded to you and what else is new. On the 12th
September the presenters will be available for a 45 minute
session so responses to your questions will be
almost
immediate during that period of time.
|
In the Conference
Area here a few hints and tips for helping you to find what you are
looking for:
 |
When in the Conference Area, if you read a document that you want to
respond to (an answer, comment or query) simply click on the Create a
Response button at the top of the open page. A new page will open up
and you can write your comment(s) here. When you are happy with what you
have written scroll down the screen and click on the Submit button.
|
 |
It
is better to write 'little and often' than to write one long
entry. People don't always like to scroll down an on-line document so
try and keep entries to less than 2 / 3 paragraphs in general.
|
(Oooops
- I hope you scrolled down far enough to read this !)
 |
In
the conference area, if you click on Category in the left hand
column this will show you all documents in the conference area. If you
click on Author in the left hand column this will show you all
documents listed by the author.
|
 |
In
the conference area, if you want to check you haven't missed anything
since you were last in you can check by clicking on Date in the
left hand column.
|
 |
Please remember - anything you write in the conference area can be read
by everyone - so please be careful what you say!
|
 |
Please remember to be polite at all times. If you think some-one has
been offensive or insulting or has said something that has made you
angry please
|
 |
make sure you have not misread the entry (it is easy to do)
|
 |
create a response asking for clarification
|
 |
think before posting a response - it takes a minute to slam in a
response - but it will be visible to all for some time to come!!! |
 |
This conference is being monitored and moderated and any
offensive or inappropriate postings will be deleted.
|
Contact Us if you have any
private comments or concerns.
We hope you enjoy the conference.
