On-Demand Presenter Resources

On-demand sessions are pre-recorded presentations that are then hosted in the virtual, on-demand session gallery of the event platform. With on-demand content, attendees can watch sessions online at their pace and leisure.

Your recording should be approximately 20 minutes long.

There are several key dates for your presentation and any supplemental resources you would like to provide:

• NOW: Start creating your presentation and meeting with your presentation team (if applicable). You may download the event PowerPoint here. (It's encouraged but not required to use.)

• April 1 (All presenters): Update Your Presenter Profile. Please log into EDUCAUSE's membership system by this date to make sure your profile is up to date (bio, photo, title, company, etc.) as this is what will be displayed in the online agenda on your session page.

• Mid-April: Work on your presentation and schedule your recording. Be sure to watch the Presenter Support Modules for best practices to help you create and deliver an outstanding presentation.

• April 27: Presenter Registration Deadline. We ask that all presenters be registered by this date.

• May 13: Submit your 20-minute On-Demand recording to EDUCAUSE and any materials (copy of presentation, supplemental materials/resources, etc.) You will record your presentation and the lead presenter will submit it by this date in order to meet production timelines.(Recordings will be in an MP4 format.)

• June 15-16: ELI Annual Meeting Online 2022.

EDUCAUSE understands the challenges with presenting virtually, and we’re here to help! Be sure to check out:

• EDUCAUSE Virtual Presenter Toolkit: Whether you've never presented virtually before or you're an old pro, this toolkit will provide you with all you need to know to make your presentation a success.
• Presenter Support Modules (five-minute training videos)
• Resource Hub (articles, tips, and more focused on presenting and creating an outstanding presentation)

You may record using a screen-share program such as Zoom or GoToWebinar. You will then upload your mp4 file (size limit is 2GB) using the instructions provided by your speaker liaison (coming soon). Note: You do NOT need to caption your recording as we will do this for you.

Here is a short tutorial video that may help you:

Lead presenters will receive an email from the EDUCAUSE event team with a special link to upload the presentation content and any resources in the speaker portal. (File format: PDF)

As mentioned previously, all presenters should share their presentation materials prior to the event. Please rename files to be uploaded with the session title and the resource type (examples: "Name_of_Session_Presentation_Slides" and/or "Name_of_Session_Handout"). This is how it will be displayed in your session listing. If you password-protect a PDF document, please make sure to enable the file to be read by a screen reader. It is our goal to make our resources easily available to those who use adaptive and assistive technology to access files over the internet.

Important Note: This statement appears on the EDUCAUSE PowerPoint template and highlights the terms of the permission agreement you accepted in EDUCAUSE's Publishing Agreement. If you are using your own PowerPoint, please include this statement on one of your slides:

This presentation leaves copyright of the content to the presenter. Unless otherwise noted in the materials, uploaded content carries the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), which grants usage to the general public, with appropriate credit to the author.

By implementing the following guidelines, your session will be engaging, interesting, and memorable:

1. Know your audience: Who are they? Why do you think they are attending your session?
2. Start with the end in mind. There should be 1 3 key "takeaways" from the session.
3. Have an engagement plan. It's very easy to lose your audience's attention in a virtual setting. Ideas: Use the chat box early and often by asking questions of your audience and engaging them with pre-planned prompts. Chunk your content into sections of 5–7 minutes each, and after each section, engage with the audience.
4. Prepare: Know your stuff. Practice. Time yourself. Critique yourself. Practice some more.
5. Remember to test your equipment.
6. When presenting/recording, remove distractions and look eye-level at the camera.
7. Know that your preparation will pay off for a fantastic presentation!
