Guidance for Session Chairs

Thank you for chairing a session as part of the OERxDomains Conference. Please take an opportunity to familiarise yourself with our Guidance for Session Chairs and get in touch with [email protected] at your earliest opportunity should you have any questions or require assistance.

This year’s conference will be delivered via our conference platform using Streamyard and Discord and we will send you a session chair link to the sessions you are chairing.

As a session chair, you are responsible for:

  1. Introducing the speaker and the session title. 
  2. Monitoring the chat/questions coming in and facilitating the interaction between the audience and the speaker. 
  3. Keeping the session to time.
