 Dana and I'm a member of the Open Education Conference team with the OpenEd 2023 conference being just around the corner on November 7th. I wanted to take a quick moment to show you how to log in to Oxford Abstracts. This is the platform we'll be using this year to host the conference. It is where all registered attendees will be able to view and join all program sessions. Let's jump in. To sign in, you'll need to visit oxfordabstracts.com and select sign in. If you already set up your Oxford Abstracts account, simply log in or reset your password. Otherwise, create an account with the same email address you used to register for the conference. Once you're logged in, the first page you will see is the dashboard. From here, click view to be directed to the conference home page. The first time you log in, you'll be instructed to set your time zone and create your name badge. Setting your time zone is important as it will allow the platform to populate the program schedule according to your time zone, making it much easier for you to schedule your attendance accordingly. Next up is your name badge. Oxford Abstracts offers a range of features for attendees to network with one another through comments and live discussions using a name badge. The default setting is on, which means any attendee can send you a message or video call during the conference, but Oxford Abstracts cannot connect to your video or audio unless you actively grant permission through your browser. You can turn the chat feature on or off at any time. If you'd like to use the chat feature, you can enter your real name or use an alias. Entering your role and affiliation makes networking with other attendees much easier. You can also provide links to your socials to connect with attendees outside of the conference platform. So you've set your time zone, created your name badge. Now you'll be directed to the conference home page. Here is the conference home page. This menu on the left hand side offers various ways to view program sessions. Click program schedule for a complete calendar view of all program sessions and activities over the course of the three day conference. Each colored box represents a session in the program. You will notice sessions are color coded based on session type, including live sessions, prerecorded sessions, socials, plenaries, discussions, and poster sessions. To join a live session during its scheduled time, click view session, then join zoom. You will be redirected to the live presentation in zoom where all live presentations will be hosted. To view a prerecorded session, click view session and a window will appear with the presentation that you are welcome to view at any time during the conference, starting on the first day. If you have any questions or trouble logging in to Oxford Abstracts, please send an email to contact at openeducationconference.org. Stay tuned for more information about chat features and networking opportunities in Oxford Abstracts and other platforms we will be using during the conference. See you on November 7th!
