Tips for Hosting the Webcast
What follows is a brief collection of tips that have been gathered over the
past years:
- Designate a "local liaison" who will be responsible for organizing the logistical
needs of the site.
- Be aware that the sessions are scheduled with consideration of the local
time zone (i.e. The lunch break in Winnipeg could be one, two or even three
hours ahead or after your normally scheduled meal times).
- Be sure to test the system you are going to use for the live webcast and
test it more than once.
- Have a contingency plan in case a computer doesn't cooperate or in case
of other unforeseen circumstances.
- Gather several people from your organization to view the webcast together.
Networking and discussion continue to be important themes of the Halifax Symposia.
- Refresh your viewer at each break to ensure that you don't overfill your
browser's cache.
