Elements to consider when creating a session description
- Format – indicate that the session is online. Indicate whether the session is recorded or live.
- Terminology (tba) - e.g. webinar, live session, online session, virtual.
- Start time
- Duration.
- Platform – clearly indicate which platform will be used for the session. Include links to the support sites for the chosen platform. Indicate which support material is a session pre-requisite, as appropriate.
- Session content – include a description of the session itself. Include a brief description of the content of any asynchronous material that is available, especially if it is a pre-requisite.
- Pre-requisites – include a reminder where applicable that the pre-requisite material is mandatory. Include a link to the full information for any asynchronous pre-requisite sessions. The pre-requisite may just be an indication of the type of user the session is suitable for.
- Caveats – be clear about what the session does not offer. E.g. indicate if the session will / will not allow for answering individual problems, indicate routes for 1:1 assistance.
- Capacity – what is the maximum number of attendees?
- Cancellation – is there a minimum number of bookings that would cause cancellation of the session? If so, make it clear the possibility of cancellation due to low bookings.
- Joining instructions – include on which platform the session will be delivered and a link to the joining instructions on the LIbrarySkills@UCL webpages.
- Other sources of support – add a link to any relevant guides relating to the topic.
- Alternative dates – add a link to the LibCal listing if there are other dates when the same session is happening.
