ALTC Orientation

Just familiarising myself with the ALT-C site - and finally figured out how to load the short presentation I am doing with Anna Armstrong at Nottingham Trent University. For presenters who are still having difficulty finding the instructions on how to load your slides you may find the following extract from the guidelines useful:

A. Uploading your presentation to CrowdVine
CrowdVine is the networking site for ALT-C 2011. Its URL is http://altc2011.ac.uk/.
Some of you have already got accounts on CrowdVine, and, by mid to late July, all
conference delegates will be given active encouragement to create accounts.
There are two helpful things that you can do to help other delegates to get the most out of
your session and attract a wider audience.

Firstly, please use the “Calendar” tab to find your session on CrowdVine and sign up to
attend it. Please encourage fellow presenters to do likewise.

Secondly, if and when you have a PowerPoint or other presentation to share with
conference participants, please upload it to CrowdVine as a comment to the session in
which you are presenting. If you do this, please include in the covering note to the upload a
clear reference to the number of your presentation. This appears in bold font immediately
before the title of your presentation. It is typically a 2 or 3 digit number deriving from the four
digit unique ID by which your presentation has been identified throughout the submission,
reviewing and other processes.

For obvious reasons it is best to avoid uploading large files – say over 10 MB.
As an alternative you may wish to consider pointing instead to a URL elsewhere that
contains your presentation


If you want to attend our presentation it is on the last day 9-10 8th November 

0146 One Year On: Nottingham Trent University’s SHARE Project reflects on the challenge of engendering a digital sharing culture Vicki McGarvey, Anna Armstrong - It would be lovely to see you there. 
I will also put the slides on slide share.
