We hoping that this year the Online Conference coverage – Cardiff
Online - will be even more successful than before. The Cardiff Online
website will host live and on-demand video presentations, video
interviews with presenters and conference delegates, text reports and
moderated discussion forums. The Cardiff Online project aims to provide
teachers worldwide with an opportunity to share ideas with colleagues
before, during and after the conference.

As a presenter, you have a vital role in the Cardiff Online project.

This year we are inviting all the Cardiff Conference presenters to upload their presentations (abstract, powerpoint presentations, handouts etc) to the Cardiff Online website.

All those presenting should have received an email from IATEFL with some instructions.

Each session will have its own unique webpage on the Cardiff Online website.
Users will be able to post comments on each session which will allow you – the presenters - to interact with online delegates via each session page.

Finally…
