These echo the protocols we've developed and shared on our synchronous webcasting tools wiki page, for all to use.
- Any presentation needs to be short – 10 minutes – focused with clear points for consideration set up at the beginning so that you are listening with a purpose.
- If you want to present for longer then there needs to be gaps between major talking points.
- Twitter type text needs to be set up so that it is about the presentation and not whether it is sunny.
- If there are breaks between key points then when the new point begins the text messaging is relevant to the new point.
- There should be a facilitator who can summarise points and act as a conduit between the presenter and listeners.
- Animation does not translate to the conference therefore powerpoint slides need to take this into consideration.
- Slides should not be too text based and should enhance the presentation not provide subtitles to it.
- The conference should have a ‘master of ceremonies’ who calls the conference to order, introduces the speaker and makes sure that communication is as effective as possible.
- Each presenter could have a blog set up for further discussion – the posts being the key points in their presentation.
- With large audiences keep the conference for transmission with online follow up rather than expecting large numbers to contribute.
- When taking part in a conference, either as organiser or participant, enlist a colleague to maintain a check on twitter-type chat and conversations to note key points of use and/or interest.
