Virtual Presentations
| Presenters that will not be present at the conference, but will participate with a virtual contribution, must also be registered in the conference, their papers are considered to be published as the others and are also entitled to a certificate of participation in the conference. Presenters are required to prepare the content for the presentation itself, which can be made in one of these two ways (in no particular order):
– Recording a video of the presentation, (the file that you send us must be in VIDEO format, we won’t accept any other file formats) 1) About recording a video presentation: You can record your presentation through a camcorder, web-camera or mobile phone with at least 4 mega pixels quality. Feel free to open your video in an editing program (Windows Movie Maker, iMovie, AVID, Final Cut Pro or other editing software), according to your expertise and convenience, to make alterations and all kind of editing (putting a title, your name, etc). Save your file either in *.AVI, *.MPG, *.WMV, *.MP4 or *.MOV (extensions format). 2) About creating a PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over: Use the PowerPoint program or similar (available in any Operating System) to compose your presentation in slides. This software is convenient and easier for almost all people, but you’re welcome to use other tools, creating advanced presentations. We suggest you start by present a picture of yourself with email contact or affiliations, with a welcome message to the audience, feel free to use your creativity, but try to keep it easy and brief. Use an audio recording device, such as a microphone or other external voice recorder, music, etc. Once you have you PowerPoint slides, you can insert the audio files using the program itself – click Insert > Movies and Sounds > Sound from file (choosing the location of your audio files). You can also record your voice with PowerPoint in each slide, if desired – click Insert > Movies and Sounds > Record sound. One can create self-running slides, including your voice narration. After you made the synchronized PowerPoint presentation, turn it into a movie file – click File > Make Movie – the opened window will allow you to choose the location where you want to save your video from the PowerPoint presentation (save your file either in *.AVI, *.MPG, *.WMV, *.MP4 or *.MOV (extensions format). Important note for videos and PowerPoint videos: – Spoken or written words must be in English. – Try to achieve a good quality voice recording, to facilitate the hearing, by making it in a quiet setting and by speaking clearly and in a paused manner. – Videos and PowerPoint videos should be kept simple, transmitting information clearly, like in a poster presentation with the respective contents. Use clear and visible characters in the writings when editing text or topics. – Review and watch various times your video and its contents in your software player. – You MUST NOT EXCEED a 10 minutes presentation and 100 MB of space file. – The presentation file should be sent by email to secretariat@inpact-psychologyconference.org or secretariat.inpact@gmail.com through Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer. The conference will provide a link with virtual content that will be sent by email to all participants. The pre-recorded Video Presentations will be available on the conference YouTube channel. The videos will not be public, only those with access to the links will be able to see them. The links for the videos will be available on our website, with the respective details, so that all the conference participants can have access to them during and after the conference. This will give the opportunity for presenters who cannot be at the conference meeting physically, but wish to participate, to showcase their work through a different media. The authors of the Virtual Presentations can be contacted via email by any conference participant who wishes to discuss the contents of the presentation. |
Workshops
| A Workshop provides an opportunity for a group of participants to achieve a specific goal or address a particular problem. It may be designed to train or educate participants in a particular research methodology or theoretical approach, e.g., or to address a specific problem, such as how to use particular research findings in health psychological care or policy. A workshop can also be a useful way to develop a consensus on a particular issue. For example, the goal of the workshop may be to produce a position statement or policy on a particular topic, to identify priorities in a specific area or to develop theoretical perspectives or methodologies. It should have a clear structure and require active participation by everyone involved.The Workshop convenor/facilitator should warn us in advance if there is a limit of participants or any other requirements, so we can have time to inform the conference attendees.
A workshop session should be dynamic and interactive. Timing for workshops should not extend 45 minutes. |
