Web-cast Symposium
Creativity Education through the Arts: Goals, methodology and impact
November 10-11, 2007
Dear Colleague,
I would like to invite you to participate in the web-cast Symposium on Creativity Education through the Arts: Goals, methodology and impact that will take place on November 10 and 11, 2007. There is no fee for participating. The program can be found on the web-site of the UNESCO Chair in Arts and Learning, at the following url. http://educ.queensu.ca/unesco/activities/events/index.shtml
If you plan to join the web-cast, the following notes may be helpful.
It is not necessary to pre-register for the symposium. On the day of the event, you may join the web-cast and contribute to the discussion board simply by following the links that are provided beside each session of the symposium on the registration page
http://educ.queensu.ca/unesco/registration_for_events/index.shtml
At present, these links are inactive and will not lead to any content. Shortly before the beginning of the symposium, the links will be activated. At that point, the web-cast link will lead directly to the web-cast session. The link for the discussion board will lead to a self-directed log in page.
In order to ensure that you are able to make the connection in time to join the web-cast at the beginning of each session, I recommend that you follow the link five or ten minutes before the actual start of the session. The link will lead to an image that will confirm that you have made the connection. I also recommend that you ensure that your computer is configured to meet the technical requirements that are listed below, in advance of the web-cast.
Our server will permit up to 100 participants to view the web-cast at any given time. We anticipate that this capacity will be sufficient to accommodate viewers who will be watching at different times throughout the day and evening. After each session, the link leading to that part of the web-cast will remain in place. At this point, the link will lead to a steaming video recording of that particular session for viewing by participants who were not able to watch the session during the live web-cast, particularly those in other time zones. The recording will focus for several minutes at the beginning on a preparatory image which cannot be edited out until after the Symposium weekend. The recorded Symposium will begin after this brief, unavoidable delay.
We have successfully tested the technology that we will use for the web-cast. However, in the event that you might lose your connection to the web-cast, please use the original link to reconnect with our server. If a loss of connection originates with our server, we expect that it will take about 10 minutes for our staff to correct the problem. Your patience will be appreciated, if an interruption does occur.
We will be grateful if you would take a few minutes after participating in the Symposium to fill out and send the evaluation form which can be found on the web-site.
Technical Requirements:
To watch the web-cast you will need the following.
Window Media Player
You can download a PC version at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx
or a Mac OSX version at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/mp9/default.aspx
You will need a PC with at least a P2 processor or a Mac G3 or higher running OSX, and a high speed Internet connection (dialup will not work).
I hope that you will be able to join the web-cast Symposium and look forward to your participation.
Sincerely,
Larry O’Farrell
