Nov+22+Walk+Through


 * ON the discussion board for this page:**

Gerri thinks that we should each work with those whom we invited to present - what are your thoughts? From Gerri-- I really do not want to be the one to chase people down to get their presentations. If they are in my hands today, that will be fine. But if they aren't, I think the person who invited them should be the one to do the follow-up.

Walk Through Schedule
Before the Technical test, we need to decide:
 * 1) Who will act as the host/primary voice other than the presenter? - Julian will host.
 * 2) Who will monitor the chat box. If more than one, how will that work? - Kelly and Cathy Both monitor the submitted questions. As the moderator, I will ask Kelly if she has a question, then Cathy, or vice versa - until the time is complete.
 * 3) How will the questions will be relayed to the presenter? - All questions in the last conference were presented at the end. Presenters may opt build time into their sessions to pause and ask for collected questions if they wish - in my opinion it is up to the presenter and what he/she is more comfortable with. That is good information to have in advance. Participants may post their questions (what does GotoWebinar allow in terms of back-channel messages? )
 * 4) Where we will be physically located? Cathy, Gerri, Kelly and Julian will be in the same room, so that we may communicate directly.
 * 5) What order will be work with presenters? - I'm not sure of this question.
 * 6) What will the presenters see when they sign in? - I've never dealt with that end before. Is that something that John is helping with ?
 * 7) Who will take Neill's opening and closing role? - That is still open for volunteers.

During the test session:
 * Wecome everyone
 * Do a modified roll call to make sure that everyone is present
 * Make sure we can hear each participant and they can hear and see what we are presenting
 * In order, have each presenter
 * take control
 * show a portion of their presentation
 * ask any questions they may have

At the end of the testing, remind them to:
 * Sign in at least 10 minutes before their presentation
 * Be prepared for a voice and presentation check
 * The agenda will in
 * introductions
 * quick lesson on how to use the tool (GoToWebinar)
 * turning the session over to them (their computer will provide the graphics)
 * questions from the chat box
