General Information for All Presenters

Q: How do I share my session resources?

A: 

We ask that you share your presentation materials before, during, or after the event (due by March 21) by following the steps below:

  1. Log in to the conference site through EDUCAUSE's home page (top right corner: "Login") or the Sign-in page.
  2. Navigate to the Agenda and search for your session using the "Search by keyword" box. (You can also find your session on your member profile page.)
  3. Click on your session and then scroll down beneath the listed presenters to see the Upload button.
  4. Select the Upload button in the area beneath the speakers
  5. Select a file from your computer to upload.
  6. The Upload button will change to "Please Wait…" as the file uploads.
  7. Once the file has successfully uploaded, you will see the page reload and if it is immediately available the page will show the resource. If it is in a publishing queue you will see a notice that it should be available shortly (usually within the hour). You can then refresh the page or visit it later to see when the resource has been made available.

Filenames:
Please rename files to be uploaded with the session title and the resource type (examples: Leading Academic Transformation (LAT) Community Meeting - Slides.ppt & Leading Academic Transformation (LAT) Community Meeting - Handout.pdf)

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.
