HOW DO THE TECHNICAL SESSIONS RUN?

Technical sessions are held in a Zoom meeting room.

In each session, pre-recorded videos will be played.

During the playing, the audience can ask questions through the Zoom chat window to the presenter, and the presenter may answer immediately by text or wait until the video ends and answer the question verbally.

WHAT ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR A PRESENTER?

Presenters must be present at their technical session to answer live questions.

It is highly recommended for the presenter to enter their session room 5-10 minutes before the session starts.

Please change your display name in the Zoom meeting to “n-th paper – your name”, where n is the number of your paper in the session. This naming will help the chair/co-chair and the audience to identify the speaker.

It may be wise to learn ahead how to change the display name in Zoom.

WHAT ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SESSION CHAIR?

Zoom sessions will be hosted by student volunteers.

Before the session starts, determine who will be the moderator for each of the papers in the session.

Share screen and play the video for each paper through the Virtual Conference Platform (VCP). Please make sure you also enable “share sound” when sharing your screen.

During the presentation of papers, facilitate the answering of questions in chat by the presenter.

After each video finishes, facilitate the live conversation. Also consider asking questions to spark discussion if there are no immediate questions from the audience.
