\"\"At the IHBC\u2019s 2020 Virtual School: \u2018OLD TOWNS | NEW FUTURES\u2019<\/a>, delegates will get session recordings, but to avoid missing out also should check out connections, technology, and our Gotowebinar<\/a> event platform well in advance, as with a little digital \u2018prep and check\u2019 there\u2019s plenty more Continuing Professional Development (CPD) on offer.<\/h3>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018Remember that the IHBC\u2019s office will be running at full speed during the School itself, so best avoid IT hiccups on the day by preparing properly for the event.\u00a0 That way you\u2019ll be able to focus on the content, and not get distracted by unfamiliar technical issues, while also maximising the CPD on offer.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"\u2018However familiar you are with web events, or even the Gotowebinar<\/a> platform that we use, a little planning beforehand makes all the difference, just like any conservation work!\u2019<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

\u2018Even if our selected platform suits only some of your needs, understanding how it works can be a big boost to skills – especially these days.\u00a0 Already we have run a successful test with the 2020\/21 School Committee in our host South East Branch, introducing volunteers to the experience of a webinar panellist.\u00a0 Delegates too can get even more from the Virtual School by looking beyond the speakers and content<\/a> guidance already familiar from our annual Schools, by looking at the technology as well.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018As part of the IHBC\u2019s \u2018School experience\u2019, delegates will have feedback on as much as we reasonably can offer of the content, analytics and outreach, including session recordings.\u00a0 This way you can get a real insight to such webinar operates, all as part of the IHBC\u2019s CPD support.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018But if you want to do even more hefty CPD, you can familiarise yourself with the full webinar service through a free trial<\/a>.\u00a0 That\u2019s how we started out, so why not you?\u2019<\/p>\n

Our low School delegate fee (from \u00a315+VAT) means we have no capacity to address technical issues for delegates on the day.\u00a0 However even if you do have a problem, the event will be recorded, and we will offer substantial feedback ourselves, so the majority of the event will be accessible to you even if you do have technical problems on the day!<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n
