Information on EUROCALL's Virtual Strand 2009
After the success of EUROCALL's Virtual Strand in past conferences, a virtual extension to the EUROCALL conference will be offered once again this year. Both virtual and on-site EUROCALL delegates are invited to take part in the Virtual Strand's programme, which will include activities such as blogging the conference and participating in an online pre-conference workshop that introduces the Virtual Strand.
What is the Virtual Strand?
The VS offers participants the possibility of viewing all the conference plenary sessions (keynote speakers, panel discussion, etc.) in live streamed video. These will also be archived for future reference in the Members-Only Area on the EUROCALL website. The VS also includes podcasts of regular parallel sessions that will be uploaded onto the VS web page, as well as an interactive conference blog with real-time chat and a shared virtual space.
We'd like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by becoming a conference blogger. Please, send an e-mail to virtualeurocall@gmail.com if you would like to be a conference blogger.
You may also participate in the VS by delivering an online session. To submit a proposal please go to the submission page and follow instructions.
