AGRs need to be Quality Assured before the event

Remote AGRs wishing to participate should also email the host AGR contact to register their interset within three weeks of the event. This is to ensure AGRs are Quality Assured and to facilitate in the organisation of the test connection about two weeks before the event.

AGR Presentation Protocols prepared by Bill Blyth, are a fantastic guide to ensure your participation.

Summary of the procedure

Any AGR not Quality Assured must arrange to be Quality Assured by Jason Bell. (e.g. We cannot afford to have remote sites degrade the lecture by propagating their poor audio streams into all the other AGR venues.)

Two weeks before

All Quality Assured AGRs connect to a test session organized by the host AGR.

General testing (especially audio); trial reading of a pdf document; VPCScreen.

(For a large number of sites, VNC fails: use VPCScreen).

Two days before test

About two days before: A brief test connection (and hopefully able to exchange the presentation pdf file using the Data Storage … and test run the actual pdf file).

Connect

About 1/2 hour before the lecture: connect.

During the lecture

IT support should be available throughout the Lecture.

Remote AGRs have audio Talk disabled (ie only Listen enabled).

For the remote AGRs, they should each have a nominated local “host”/monitor.

For any question and answers section at the end of the talk, it would be best to have the remote “monitor” control the questions … and repeat each question (since not all AGRs are well miked throughout the AGR).

The monitor at the host AGR needs to be in control of the question and answer session and he/she can invite questions from remote sites (in a pre-agreed order?) or by a remote monitor signalling the host monitor by hand waving and the host monitor inviting the question from the remote site.
