Hi,

It was an excellent plenary by Elana Shohamy and she's just so natural when little 'hiccups' happen.  

I'm in France right now and the video quality was very good. Using one camera at the back of the room (I believe) meant that it was not always possible to get a clear image of the PPT slides being shown.   It would also have been good if we could have seen Elana a little closer and have a clearer view of the audience, in order to wave virtually to known faces ;-)

Sound - it was very good except for a very short electronic disturbance which then disappeared.

Excellent and thank you for this opportunity to participate in Cardiff virtually!

Hi Moira

As you say - quite difficult to get the powerpoint slides in view during the live sessions but we'll hopefully have these uploaded so you'll be able to see them along with the recoded version of this session. 

Thanks for the feedback

Julian

Great Plenary!

 

Thanks for the opportunity to follow it online. Short problems with the sound, but nothing critical. I was watching it in Serba.

Hi! Same as Moira and Serba. Some tiny little problems with sound but otherwise excellent! Watching from Italy.

Thank you!

Hi, Neil,

The time difference prevented me from watching the plenary on line. I am in China and in the afternoon (here)I have classes. So, please, would you be so kind as to upload the video recording of the plenary....soon:):):)

best, Iskra

I watched the first part of this from Germany, picture and sound were fine.

I agree with Moira that there should be more coverage of the audience, it conveys more of the atmosphere than seeing the speaker the whole time.

Incidentally, on the too brief  pan of the audience waving and talking where we heard "A stranger is a friend whom you haven't met yet." I couldn't see very many delegates, I wonder if some haven't arrived ?

 

 

What does "Subscribe to this post" mean ? I haven't come across this offer.

hi everyone,

I was very pleased to watch live the first plenary from Rabat, Morocco.

All was perfect but the slides were unfortunately invisible.

Good luck

A comment about the first Session this morning (the only one I could watch, unfortunatelly, because of my obligations):

The video and the sound quality- much better than yesterday.

I was watching it from Serbia.

Hi Neil,

The part of the session which I caught was great - the sound was fantastic, though like the others I also lacked the presentation slides.

I was watching from the Far East of Russia.
