Dwi'n gweithio'r rhaglen o'r cwm. First time we didn't really execute what we talked about and what we'd worked on in the week. Didn't really have the triggers to go for the press that we wanted instigates. Because we didn't do that or we didn't have the right personnel in the right positions. I changed the second half and it was better. That's the story of the game really. Sometimes you have to do that. Sometimes it doesn't quite go to plan. I don't have the benefit of hindsight, I have to actually pick the team first and see how it goes and if it doesn't work then I'll change it, which I was able to do at halftime at the desired effect. I thought we were excellent second half, fully deserved to get back on level terms and if we'd just scored earlier I think we would have won the game. All in all, now it was the old cliché game of two halves. Is that the challenge to the players and the hope for you that they can harness the momentum that you've built from that second half performance and take that going forward now? Yeah, it was just disappointing in that first 45 minutes because what we needed was that initial press from the front and for the guys behind to react as well. We were just hesitant in terms of really committing to it and if we were going to play that way or the intention was to play in a way that we were going to be really on the front foot. We can look at the conditions, it was difficult temperature wise or whatever but the reality is we just need to be a little bit more in terms of our bravery in terms of just committing and going. I think we were reluctant to do that. Sometimes we did it, sometimes we didn't. Sometimes the individuals did, sometimes they didn't so it was a little bit fragmented. If it's going to work then everybody has to commit to it so we don't have any hogging back so that was the situation we found. We had to change and it helped us, the change helped us. We were able to stop them getting out in wider areas on that pegged them back and then pretty much the second half we were camped in their half so food for thought. On that point actually, is it horses for courses? Look at the opposition that you're going to come up against to go right at game before the back might be better suited for that game? Not really, it's about us imposing what we want to do on the opposition and we can do that in many different ways, different formations. It's what we think in terms of the opposition and how we are set fair in terms of injuries and whatever. I've got the right person to play that way so I'm learning about that obviously but I think it's just about imposing what you want to do in terms of tactics, in terms of momentum, pressure, all those things. You have to dictate that and you have to impose that on the opposition and if you don't then what you're trying to achieve becomes more difficult so that's all there is. It's more a mindset in terms of we've got to go for it, this is what we're doing and see where that takes us. Opposition will react in certain ways and change things around if they go into and about them if their situation isn't quite what it needs to be and then you've got to react when they make changes but reality is we need to take the initiative certainly at home and we felt, well certainly I felt that being on the front foot, having a press at the front and giving us a good trigger, we could play more in there or half as it didn't work in the first half so we had to try another way of being able to play in there half and on that in the second half that soon. I ask about the formations because it's a big talking point amongst the supporters at the moment. I think the general feeling is there's quite a bit of doubt about how the team play in a back three at the moment. From your perspective what are the merits, when done correctly, of playing in that system? I've just explained it here. It's about us imposing our tactics and how we want to play and how we approach in terms of individual battles on the pitch. We've got to win those fundamentals before it doesn't really matter in terms of the shape or the structure of the team. It's about making sure the fundamentals within that formation are really good and then you can play any formation like you can impose yourself on the opposition. It's about being able to execute what you say before the game and sometimes we'll come up short and we'll have to try a different way. I've never said it's interesting. You've heard me right from the outset. I've never said this is the way we're going on and we're never going to change it. It's just we've begun the season with it. We've looked at when we feel it would be good for us or the times when it won't. We'll change like we did. I've said we'll change within games. We may start a different way in some games and then revert back to three at the back like we did on occasion last year. That's how it is. I've been pretty honest up front in terms of that's what we're prepared to do. We just want more flexibility and more options and more strings to our bow. That's what we're trying to look at. With all that in mind then, how are you feeling going into Saturday against Harrogate? I'm looking forward to it. We finished strongly. We've got a number of players coming back because we've already mentioned which will help. I think we've got other players that would like to have another look at. I think the guys that introduced in the second half did their claims no harm whatsoever. That would be interesting to see if I can give them a little bit more game time as well. There are a lot of reasons to look forward to the game. At least it's local derby as well. Let's see what we do. A few of their players have previously played at Bradford City. They know the environment that is Valley Parade. Does that aid them in any way that they have that prior knowledge? I don't know really. Obviously to our legs and my foals and Levi as well. Obviously with us and others. We've had a history here. They're familiar with the surroundings but it's obviously we don't want to make it a nice homecoming. We want to make it as difficult as we can. They've been in Bradford teams that have been on the front foot and enjoyed making it really difficult for our opposition team. They know that's what they'll be expecting and it's up to us to make sure we don't disappoint. I know it's very, very early days in the season still but given where you want to be and the expectations that you'll have within the four walls of the changing room. Is it a game that you need to win? Need to win. Must win. A must win. Oh right you actually said it. I think it's a game that we anticipate that we'll have a good opportunity to win. I think that's what we have to. We don't want to be disrespectful to the opposition team. We will win because there's a lot of variables in football and in sport but our intention is to win and if we play well with the talent we've got in the group there's no reason why we can't but must win after six, seven games. Jismofoca, finally from me. A re-entertaining introduction on Saturday. It was used centrally but can it also be used in a wing capacity and where do you feel he's best used in that form? We actually like what he brings. He's a little bit different. He's a little bit unpredictable.  He's good in 1v1s in terms of his ability to stop star people and he's got a physical presence which I think can lend itself and at the minute we're a little bit short in that area and I think he can certainly play there. I think his link up play is good. He uses his body well which you need to if you're going to play centrally. I don't think it's an issue for him. I think he can play right across the front three even play if we need it as a ten and link the play from those positions. He's one of them. He can play in a number of positions and do a good job for us. Initially he may well be down the middle but I wouldn't have any problem playing there. As you said local derby. Obviously that goes to the fans. How much does that passion get through to the players? Is it something that you try to control that you don't want to get too involved in? To a point but everybody's different. Everybody reacts to derbies in different ways but this group, I've known most of them for a long time now, I don't see that emotion before a game or that preparation in terms of who you're going up against. I don't think that's ever gone to the level where it's detrimental. I think it's a good level. They're ready to go when they go out and I've never seen it affect them but it can do. I acknowledge that but with this group I don't see that. I never see it go over the line where it's detrimental to what they're trying to do. And presumably that extra passion from the fans could be another passion? You can use that. That all comes together on a derby game. I don't know how many fans are actually bringing.  This one's a little bit different so I would imagine they'll make the effort and come and support the team. It'll be a good atmosphere. Last year getting to double over Harrogate was probably a bit of a block, wasn't it? Because they'd sort of got a bit of an Indian song. I think they play on that a little bit by coming to Valley Parade and it's there, they go out and show what they can do. Most teams do. Everybody races their game when they come to Valley Parade. It's a big stage for everybody. Everybody gets a little bit giddy and just puts a little bit extra and we know that happens. Harrogate will be exactly the same. I've seen a number of their games. I look at the intensity in some of the games and think it's unlikely that they'll play like that against us. That's the reality of what we go up against. That comes with the expectation and everything involved with being a Bradford player. We expect it so it's not a surprise. It happens almost every week when we play. The key for us is we've just got to be ready and make sure it's not a surprise. It never usually is. I think he's the word meandering runs last week. He's just got a little bit of a language style. He's very different to other strikers. I think the word probably, there's that for him, is just unpredictable. I think you're not quite sure when he shapes to pass and then you'll stop and then you manipulate the ball and go in another direction and I think that unpredictability is a good thing. Certainly for him, given the area of the field where he operates, we like to encourage that. I think that's something that this group hasn't seen and we haven't had that type of player before. I don't think in terms of what he can bring. It's all early days but we're encouraged by what we've seen training as well. He does things that the lads will stand back and give him a round of applause a couple of times. That's a good sound. They appreciate what he brings. He's just got to make the best use of the opportunities that he gets and a sense that he's able to do that just by virtue of the level of skill that he's got. I fully expect when I do pick him that he won't make an impression because he's got that unpredictability and a certain language style. Maybe a little bit meandrin runs that he goes on as you've said. Yeah, he's a bit different. Given his lack of senior experience that he came on last week playing set-aford in front of 18,000. Yeah, it didn't face him. I thought he had a good impact on the game. I thought Ray came in as well and had a good impact. I was pleased with those two. JT at the back were a different type of introduction. Obviously he came in late but we've seen in the training sessions that we've had since they've all come that the operator had a good level so that's encouraging for them all. He came back. Presumably you spoke to him since he came back. He had 20 minutes. I thought he was injured. Obviously that would be your normal take on this. I was sending texts and trying to get some information but no, it wasn't the case. The manager decided to put him off for 20 minutes. Well, I think he was scratching at it. He's not going to say anything against his national team manager but probably I could. You seem to be strange when it doesn't usually happen but the important thing for us is that he wasn't injured. He wasn't in a position that he had to come off so he'll be fine. Someone who's obviously fought very much in both camps. When you lose a player like that for a week from a couple of friendlies they play 20 minutes so you lose him for a week and when he's had a run in the team it's one of those. Yeah, but you understand it. I would never stand in the way of playing for their national team. It's not something that you can do. You can allow them the opportunity and then they make decisions further down the line whether or not their commitment is really that strong if they're not getting the game time that they feel but it's very difficult to turn down the country so it is what it is. We should look at that with the fortune that we've got a guy that's playing at international level. That's a good thing for us overall. Potentially it will have a qualifying campaign kicking off in November. Yeah, we have to face that but it's difficult when we don't have obviously weekends off as a consequence of international weeks so it does impact on us more than most but we get the benefit of him when he's not with international teams so we have to be comfortable with that.


Hey everybody, welcome back to my Star Wars channel. My name is David, and today we're going to talk about how to modify your inexpensive grail diary. We would be honored if you would join us. Hey, everybody, welcome back to the channel. Thanks for being here today. We're going to look at another Indiana Jones prop. Now, I know, I know this is a Star Wars channel. And of course, I love to focus on Star Wars, focus on my fandom. But as a Star Wars fan, I'm also a huge fan of the Indiana Jones franchise, as you can tell, dressed up like Indiana Jones for cosplay. Whenever I can, I'm going to do it again this October for Halloween because Indiana Jones is pretty popular right now.  One of the questions we always ask is, what do we stick inside of our gas mask bag, right? There's all kinds of Indiana Jones props that we can stick in there. Maybe you want to stick the Cross of Coronado in there, or maybe the fertility idol, what have you, right? A really popular item, one I think we all want is the grail diary.  Now, if you've looked out there on the internet, there are some very inexpensive grail diaries, right? And you've probably thought to yourself, I wonder what would happen if I bought one of those cheap ones, whether they be from AliExpress or Wish or Amazon or eBay. Now, I will just pause right here and say, if you don't want to do the work, you're not into arts and crafts and you want a quality prop that's going to look great on your shelf or in your gas mask bag, then you want to go to Ramsey instead. Ramsey is going to have the very best grail diary. It's $250, but it comes ready to go. Now, I don't have one. I don't have one because it's not in the realm from my pocketbook. I wish I did, but I had to buy the inexpensive version and then upgrade it. But again, if you don't like arts and crafts, I would go to Ramsey props and get your own. So I went to AliExpress, went to AliExpress and purchased the grail diary and inserts for about $18. Now, if you buy from AliExpress, you're going to wait about a month for shipping, right? Because it's got to come from Hong Kong. And when you get it in the mail, it's going to look like this, wrapped up in paper with a little cord around it. Looks exactly like the movie prop, except for the fact that that is all printed on the page. So the stamps are printed, the labels printed, those aren't real stamps, those aren't real label. If you do get yours from Ramsey props, you will get an authentic wrapped paper with real stamps and a real label. When you unwrap it and open it up, what you're going to find is a brand new journal. Brand new journal, not exactly the same height and width of the movie use prop, but pretty close, pretty close. And the brand new journal has a light brown cover. The prop in the movie is dark brown. And then you're going to get very straight, clean, white, crisp pages where it looks like a brand new book that came off the shelf.  So you're going to have to fix it. We're going to have to do some arts and crafts on it. The other thing you get is the elastic strap that holds it all together and you're going to get several inserts. Now these inserts are all paper. Most of them only printed on the front, not on the back. And no photographs, although they send you pictures that look like photographs, but they're not printed on photo quality paper. Most of the paper they send you is printed on the same exact stock and they only vary by what they look like. So it's up to you to, one, decide which inserts you're going to put in your grill. And two, how you're going to modify those inserts so they all look a little different. And then three, how are you going to modify your grill diary so that it looks like this. Now mine looks like a dark brown with some weathering. It's got sanded edges. The pages are all worn, weathered and exploded, right? They're poofy. They look like they've been wet or they've been aged or this looks like a book that's been well loved and gone through. If I take the elastic off, you can see how the pages, when they expand, they're rippled and worn. This is what you want your book to look like, right? You want your pages to have a yellowed look, a stained look, an aged look, right? You want everything to look like it's from the movie prop. You want it to look like this is something that Henry Jones Sr. wrote in himself. So how to get your prop, your inexpensive prop to look like this. Well, the first thing I did was I weathered all the pages. And the way I did that was I used a pot of coffee from yesterday, right? Not grounds in water, but actual coffee. And I dipped the entire book in coffee, soaked up all the pages, and then I laid the book with its spine upwards and let all the water drain out and kind of let all the pages dry kind of haphazardly. All that really did was turn the pages a little bit of a color. I didn't give them any of the warp that I wanted to get that warp. What I did was I went through every page, page by page with a paintbrush. OK, after the book dried and I painted two pages at a time and stuck three dimensional objects under the page, like so a bolt and a screw, like a really big one, which lifted one page off of the next below it. And when it dried, it gave it a little bit of a curl. That way, as the pages started to dry, once you get about 20 pages in, you really start to see how each page kind of has its own character when it dries. And there's a lot of pages in these diaries, a lot. Just to do 20 pages took me about an hour. So taking it out into the sun, letting it dry, going back out there, painting the next two pages, turning them, letting it dry and going through that process over and over and over again until all the pages were warped. Then I had to re-flatten the book because I don't want the book to be completely exploded. So then what I did that night is I wrapped the entire thing in rubber bands, tightening it lengthwise and widthwise. And I laid the heavy object on top of it and laid it there overnight. That compressed the book back down again. But then still it gave it a little bit of expanded and all the pages had their own unique flavor. Then it was on to the cover.  OK, and I first sanded the front, sanded the spine, sanded the back, sanded all the edges just to give it a little bit of wear and tear.  Do it again. Any places that I thought were a little too bright or a little too light brown. If there was any like holes that pop through because of the sandpaper, I'd darken them in with the black shoe polish and then I'd rub it right off. Don't let it dry. Rub it right off with the paper towel. And what that did was it gave the cover a nice little streak look. So it looked like it had some grain work. And then the sanding the edges gave it a little bit of a little bit of a wear and tear. Then I went to the entire book and every four or five pages or eight pages, ten pages, I would dog you're a tiny corner up in the top corner or maybe the bottom corner or I would tear a tiny little piece out of the corner just so it would look like maybe if I was turning a page or being a little too hasty, maybe I accidentally tore a page or maybe Henry Jones senior wanted to highlight that page so we tore it so he could flip through and find it faster. And so that made the Grail Diary look good as a diary. Then the second stage was I had to go through all the insorts and decide which ones I wanted to keep and which ones I didn't. And to tell you the truth, I didn't keep most of them. Most of them I did not keep. There was an article about football, which I didn't keep. There was an article about the Titanic that I cut in half and only used half of it. There were several pages that were about Indiana Jones and about his different relics that he's found. And I didn't use any of those. There was two sheets of sheet music. I didn't use those except for maybe a tiny little strip that I'll show you right here. As I glued down onto this page that I thought gave this page some personality. But the rest of the pages I threw away. There was a photograph of Indie holding the Maltese Falcon, but instead it was replaced with the fertility idol. So I didn't keep that because it just didn't look realistic. So over half of those things I didn't keep. So I kept some of the money. I kept a little receipt. I kept a train ticket. I kept two stocks. I kept the camel cigarette pack and a few other things. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go through the Grail Diary page by page and show you the inserts that I did keep and hopefully give you some advice about how I modify each one. All right, so here we are. And what we're going to do right now is go through the Grail Diary page by page just to kind of show you just, you know, what I did and maybe my reasonings behind it. You can see the front is all distressed with sandpaper and black shoe polish. You can see the pages are riffled, right?  And this just took a whole day of just aging. I have a little dot up here that kind of lets me know that this is the this is the direction to open it from. And I only use the inserts that came with the Alex Rest package. I didn't use any extra inserts. Nothing in here is from some other project. If you got the same one as me, you could do this yourself. So right away, the first page has this little folded blue ticket. And I just double stick taped it to both sides of the page. And then there's the photograph of India's dad. That's just a glue stick down and the edge right here is torn. And then I put this was a full eight and a half by 11 that I just cropped to put on here. And the best way to do that is measure your pages and then make a template out of card stock and then lay that over the things you're going to cut. And then I would trace it and then it stuck in that paper cutter so that I had straight edges. And then I just used a regular glue stick to get it down. So there's another piece. Again, this was a full eight and a half by 11. I just chopped it, you know, and then tore this bottom part off just to give it a little bit of old flair. Here's the green ticket folded right there. Some regular pages. I want to make sure that as I show it to you, I'm not losing anything out of it. And then here's the telegram that comes with it. And this was just coffee washed. I coffee washed the creases on the backside. Coffee washed the front wrinkled it so that it looked like maybe it got shoved in a pocket. And then some more. I didn't try to put stuff on every page. I just thought that was way too much.  Some of these edges I dogged, I dogged. I went back and forth between dogged in the top or dogged in the bottom or I would take my fingernail on the edge. Like right here, you can see there's a little bit of a buckle. There's my fingernail and just creased it. This one's dogged up at the top up here. This cut out again, cut out of one of the documents and just ATG did or glued it right to the page. So just to give it some different color, some different texture. When you glue things to the pages, it makes the pages a little thicker, which means they'll pop a little more. So there's one of the bills that came with it. I didn't do anything to it, but distress it with coffee. That what I did was I unfolded things and put it out in the sun with coffee, this white, hot sun. And it takes out some of the pre creased edges that come with it. And then you can do your own creases. So this is one of the maps that came with it. I put a coffee stain on it, blackened out the fold lines and then put in the map. And so there's you can see the fold lines age worn and it folds right back up. And then I threw the rest of the map away. This is the camel cigarette thing. It also came with a stamp. So I just tore the stamp and glued it to the bottom. So that's my story, a little torn edge. Sometimes I take a burnt match and rub it over the edge just to kind of give it a little extra flair. This was in there and it was unfolded. So what I did was I folded it in half and double stick taped it together so it couldn't come undone.  So this is twice folded. So you might have yours and it's fat. I folded it in half so it would have just some dimension.  There's a dog ear, nothing on these pages. This is one of the bookmarks and it's copy stained, folded in half and the top is folded over and it peaks out the top like that so that it looks like it has some dimension. Here's another little article again, tore it out, glued it to the top of the page just to give it some. And there's lots of pages in this that are blank. So this is in there too. And I just cropped one ticket off and then cropped the top off to make it look like one ticket was was torn out. And again, coffee dried it in the sun. Here's one of the the bills just resting in there folded. Don't fold it, you know, don't don't fold it right.  It should it should look like it was more haphazard than anything else. Here's another piece that was just an eight and a half by 11 with a bunch of other stuff on it. I tore it around. I age creased the crease there and I just have it inserted like that. So it's it's nice to have some things that are, you know, square hard edges and then some things that are torn edges. So here's a torn edge page here. This is this was that article about the Titanic, I think. And so just cropped it down to make it look like like a smaller article and put it in there. And those are all normal. Here's one of the telegrams. And again, I just cut the bottom off of it. You know, didn't need the whole thing. And then I also cut the edges. So I go around all the edges top and sides too, just so that when it goes in the journal, it doesn't stick out too much. You know, I don't want it to protrude too much. I want the journal to kind of envelop it, go all the way around it. So these are just the normal pages that come with it. And then here's the it looks like a stock certificate. It was an image that came off the Internet and even had a dot com at the bottom of it. So again, stuck in the paper cutter, chopped it, put age lines on the back, crinkled it up, made it look more like an actual stock certificate. I'm not showing you every page because some of the pages are there's a little tear down there at the corner down here at the bottom. On this side, I again, rip that off of one of the eight nap by eleven store around it. Glue to the page. And this is an article about the cross. I cut it out and put it on a blank page. And then right on the other side of it, I cut that out and put it on a blank page. I didn't like the blank pages. I felt like I wanted to put something on them more so than I felt like I wanted to stick like ticket stubs and, you know, randomness everywhere. This is the big blue map. And then there was a sheet that showed you all the inserts that were supposed to come in it. And inside was the club Obi-Wan logo. So I just cut that off and glued it to the inside. The map and did the same thing. I put it in a paper cutter and I trimmed off the edges so that it didn't have all the white edges and trimming the white edges off of it just made it a little bit more made the profile of it a little shorter. So and again, I'll stick it in the back and then pie some ribbons around it and compress it and make it all tight. So periodically, it's good to just jam these back down inside where they go. I'm not too committed to their location, but I kind of like how spaced out they are. And again, I think with the band on it, it pushes those bookmarks down, folds them over and gives them a little bit of, you know, personality. And then some of the pages sticking out there, I think makes it give it some personality. I like the waves in it. So that is my 18 dollar Braille diary. The only other thing that I didn't get was the shield rubbing.  You can find that rubbing out on eBay for about $14. So that's what I did. I just bought that as a separate item. And when that comes, I'll stick it in my grill diary as well. So I hope I answered some questions for you or at least gave you a head start. I, of course, will be here if you want to comment down below. Ask me any questions about modifying your own grill diary. And I will help you because I think we all want this beautiful prop, right? We all want this beautiful prop. I'm really proud of mine. And I really want to help you make yours should you decide to do the arts and crafts yourself. Thanks for watching, guys. Made the force be with you. I'll see you next time. Bye.


difficult because we have a very I mean we chose a different session formats for this year's conference and I think that all of you recognized the aim which is actually to let participants get involved at their most around all the tables and to discuss the future with the presenters. The theme of the conference is open education for an open future so we wanted the session formats to reflect that and that's why of course we will have presentation because everybody's welcome and everybody should feel free to join the conference with the session format that best suits their attitude, their needs and their research also but also we wanted to strongly promote activities during the conference and also another thing that we are going to do together with all of you is to use spaces differently because we will have a plenary room to be used for some of the activities and we will also use classrooms for other activities but we are going to have a lot of activities in the corridors actually in between students passing around okay and if we can do that there everybody can do it everywhere we think so this is our aim. For example action labs which are going to last 50 minutes each are going to be in a corridor in one of the buildings and you will find a lot of information about where to go, how to orient yourself in the spaces etc. We reserved those spaces because we wanted different ISO made with two or three tables to be available for presenters and for participants to work together. Some of the recommendations that you can see here are very easy to understand. We invite presenters with this format to arrive five, ten minutes early at your table because of course we are going to bring there everything that is explained in the session format page in the conference website. So you will have paper, you will have markers, pens, sticker notes, scissors, scotch tape etc. Everything that we think might support your activities and the creative involvement you want for your participants but if you need to bring something I don't know some materials that you want to distribute or if you have a presentation you want to print out and share with participants or if you have in mind a specific format that you are bringing with yourself in order to be put on the table and to be used for the activities that's the moment in which you are welcome to prepare it before the session actually starts and also we strongly invite you if you are holding a table for an action lab to provide clear instructions to participants about what you want them to do which is the aim of the activity which is the expected result not in order to let them know in advance what will come up from the session you know but just to say I am willing I don't know I am willing to have your view on my ideas I am willing to develop a next step on an activity that I already tried out but this time I want to put it on the table and I want to announce it with your help something like this just in order to let participants know in advance which is your aim and also while the activity is ongoing we strongly invite you to move around the table and be sure that everybody understands the task and is able to contribute properly which doesn't mean that everybody has to talk at the same time of course but you know it's different to see people working on their computers or answering their phone or being involved in an activity that is on the table together with the others and on the other side if everybody's really involved one of the difficult things that is up to the presenter is to keep time because every action lab lasts 50 minutes but after each action lab there is 10 minutes needed for the next session to start okay so the next presenter will need the table to be able to prepare their own action lab so it is important that each presenter at each table is able to keep the time of the activities in the end of course you are welcome to collect any resources and any material you used and live on the table the things that are provided from the organization so that they will be available for the next action lab and there is a question from Bea yes there is a session chair there is a session chair and not only one because action labs are going to happen in two parallel corridors on the first floor of a building you find every information on the SCAD application but we are going to provide very specific maps of the tables within the corridors so that everybody will be easily able to reach the proper table in every session description we are going to add both the name of the table and its number so that everybody will be easily able to understand where their action lab is going to happen and where do they have to go in order to reach the sessions they are interested in okay session chairs are going to be available but it's going to be a corridor you have to remember that so the session chair we be able to ring a bell and I hope that we will have bells because it's noisy enough to be understood by and listened by anyone even if they are far away but of course we will need the support of each session a chair sorry each presenter at each table because it will be a huge environment with many tables working at the same time okay so anyway we will guarantee one session chair per corridor okay so you will see them and also we are going to provide some people working around just in order to support with the session format if any question may raise during the session itself people from meted will be available I think that we will be recognizable Susan I don't know how at present time but there will be an ask me logo somewhere on us okay and it will be colored so you will recognize us I'm sure about that and we are going to be recognizable so I think at the beginning of the conference we are going to be available since the very beginning so please count on us to be there and if you have questions you are always welcome to ask the session chairs Susan maybe maybe it's better yes work a fair better work a fair because maybe this is a say the most tricky one because it's a very nice and very interactive format but it's the quickest I think because lightening talk is very similar even if it's shorter in time it's very similar to a presentation on the contrary work a fair is a very intense activity which will last 60 minutes as a whole but each session will have different stages so the presenters will arrive at the table of course they are invited to arrive early five to ten minutes before the session starts each table will have a paper table clothes prepared by us already fixed on the table and the steel again you will have markers pens pencils sticky notes etc everything will be waiting for you there and I hope also we will provide some chocolate as I was saying before for each table some chocolate and some coffee of course let's see if we can do that and what will happen there is that a group of people will arrive at the table the presenter will explain the structure of the activity okay and then the first group of participants which will have at their disposal a completely blank table clothes paper table clothes to write on will be invited to start the activity according to the instruction given by the presenter of course but also they will be invited to remember that the two steps will follow them okay because the people are going to move every 15 minutes from one table to another okay so they're going to work very intensively for 15 minutes on a table clothes according to the instruction they receive around the table then they are going to go to another table with another objective another aim and different instructions and they will find the table clothes with some written contents and some things already on it okay and they will go ahead working according to the different thing they will receive and they are going to do the next step of the work and on the third term they will move to another table again so seen from the perspective of the table older let's say what happens is that you are going to be around your table a group of people will join you after a quarter of an hour they are going away to a different table you will meet a group new group of people who are working on the routes that the previous group already established on the table clothes okay so everybody is invited to remind the other people of the necessity to leave some space for the next people coming of course a sticker not sticking notes would support that because you cannot contents at different layers we also will provide some blank papers that you cannot and also if it is needed we will have some table clothes available for people who need a second layer let's say okay so don't worry if you think that you need something new to write on because we will give it to you another thing that it's important to say is that of course there will be many different conversation in very many different tables in the same corridor okay so it will be noisy and also when people move there will be a huge number of people moving at the same time looking for their next table so it could be that the five minutes that are in the program between each 15 minutes session maybe they are enough maybe for someone who is far away are not enough to reach your table so be patient with that try to be as inclusive as possible and they will join the group working on the table clothes they I don't think it will be a problem you are also invited to take pictures take photos please of your tables because they will change during time and it could be very interesting to have the stages after the first group after the second group and after the third group remember that we are going to have two photographers during the conference which are going to go around tables in order to support you in the in this activity okay they are going to take photos during the sessions and what we are going to try to do is to have them take photos of the different stages of each table clothes but it could be that in the chaos of these large number movement of people they cannot reach every table so if you can take your own pictures it could be very useful for participants to see the evolution of the table clothes and also those photos can support your work in the production of the exposed video I we didn't talk about it yet but I think that all of you remember that you have to provide you are strongly invited at least to provide an example video which you explain the aims of your session because it could be very helpful for participants to have a look at it and to have an idea before they reach your table what's going to happen there which is your aim why are you proposing that some questions to them which is the result you are willing to obtain which is the contribution you expect from them and in the exposed video which again will be very short very informal it would be interesting to see if you actually succeeded in reaching your goal together with the support of participants or even if the result is completely different from what you expected anyway it would be interesting to know and to share it with the all the conference community moving to the posters posters will be displayed during the whole conference very close to the coffee area so you know everybody will see them and also really serve the sometime very close to one of the lunches in order to have a reserved moment for poster orders to present their work because usually it's not always like this I mean it's not always easy to have a session devoted just to posters and it could be useful to have you explain your own work in a specific moment anyway be sure that participants who are moving around your poster will be allowed to leave you a memo about their questions or their curiosities or some content that is not clear to them or they are interested to go in depth with you about because they are willing to I don't know contact you or work together with you with something and we are going to provide a folder close to the close to each poster and the participants will be invited to leave a message inside it everybody will receive some notes some paper notes in their bags so that they can share all style messages written on paper and knows leave their cards also so that the participants who have posters will reach you after and you as a poster session older can reach people interested in you and then we have lightning talk and saying thanks Susan to keeping the pace with me because I'm getting longer otherwise I know that lightning talks are the shortest format we have in this conference you might already be familiar with this format which is not unusual nowadays it's very short it's 22 slides and you will have eight minutes and six seconds totally plus a short amount of question time available at the end of each session so each of you who is willing to who is coming to present in a session like this is a strongly invited to arrive early so that you will be able to upload your presentation and check which is your turn because there is already a list but you know everything can happen people can be late flights can be delayed you know life happens in between the programs that we prepare so everything can be changed at the last minute according to the needs and so it would be very useful also for your session chair to see you recognize you in person and give you the microphone in the right moment okay so if you prepare a lightning talk you just need to be aware that you will need to focus on keeping the time and the session chair will support you on with that we are going also to prepare some cards these format cards with the the minutes on them so that you will have a proper sign you have one two minutes one minutes remaining and now the bell is ringing and you are done even if you are in the middle of a sentence you are I think you will be done and so in this format it will be very important there is a question from Flavia yes Flavia you can certainly use less than 22 slides 22 actually is the maximum okay because it's a calculation made around just numbers according to the time the number of seconds in total you have we made this calculation but if you have a 15 slides and they cover all your content it's okay if you want to use a different format I don't know if you prefer to use instead of slides video and alternate your time together with a video you're welcome to do that too okay it's up to you you will be if you are going to have a lightning talk you are going to be in the plenary session room which is the car asada is called asada and you will have audio to during the whole time while not in all the other rooms audio will be available of course but you will have it so you feel free to choose your format the only strict recommendation is the duration okay because the sessions will be very quickly following one the other there is a question from Bill what format should the presentation be in if you use slides should it be PowerPoint or Google's lights it's up to you it's better if you arrive with a PowerPoint version I mean you can download the Google's lights also with a PPT file format okay which is let's say easy to be used also if we needed to switch from one computer to the other so it is better to have a downloaded version of the slides but if then you want to link the Google's lights version to the to your session description you're more than welcome to do that you're encouraged to do that exactly this is the make sure it is it's available offline that's the reason why I'm asking for the PPT version of it exactly that because we are going to have Wi-Fi during the whole conference and everywhere but if even if it if it is granted you know with technology everything happens when you don't expect it so I prefer to have the offline version if it is available also if you use videos or any other format please be sure that if it as far as it is possible we prefer you to arrive with an offline version just to be sure okay on a thumb drive not on our own computers correct yes and also well actually I think that we will invite everyone to send their presentation in advance so that we can upload them in the computers in advance and if someone changes something at the last minute it's okay we can upload them again but for safety reason one of the recommendation on site is not to insert many different pen drives in a computer as you can easily imagine and it's not because it's let's say it's a lack of faith in participants it's because everyone always has to I don't know how to say that face video says threads every time so that's why we received the recommendation to upload the presentations in advance suggest so that we can make them go through the antivirus check that's it exactly common security practice no more than that about presentation well presentations are the classical format that you will have an audience in front of you in a classical classroom setting you will have a computer available I'm not sure that all the rooms will have microphones but they are not so large that you won't will have problems I mean you are not required to talk too much loud and you can also be careful in arriving on time so that the session chair will be able to recognize you upload your presentation in advance and support you in keeping the time because they will be there for you okay session chairs will be there to support you that's it and they will keep the time too a few things last minute about the ex ante video all of you are strongly encouraged to produce them just please try to put yourself in the shoes of the people who never attended the World Cafe session or an action lab in their life or a lightning talk okay of course the lightning talk is let's say more similar to a classical format because it's a presentation and it's very quick so some of you might might ask why should I produce a two or three minutes video before I present it's because of that because you will have less time during the presentation and it could be more worth it for you to share some of your aims some of the goals that you are willing to share with participants in advance and so ex ante so that they can be able to look at your session and then not only to the session description but also at your face and the way in which you are inviting them to join you okay so they might choose you choose your session because of that video and it is even more important for work affairs and action labs because of the sessions formats are going to be very interactive and mainly for work affairs groups won't have a lot of time so if they arrive at your table knowing which is your purpose which is the project you are working on and which is the kind of contribution you expect from them they might prepare some ideas in advance and think and can easily start anyway you see the list of questions which are also available on the website of the conference the questions are very simple and the video is not something that should be very formal please use your smartphone just be sure that the light is clear enough on your face and that your microphone is properly positioned so that the audio is fine because if you have I don't know difficulties with English you see my English is not perfect for example and the people coming from all around the world might not be comfortable in recording themselves but it's informal I mean it's just to support the other participant to understand which is your aim what are you willing to share with them and why you needed their support in order to open for the future okay which is the aim of the conference after that oh yes this is the link to the web page where the Exante video is explained that we shared that we do some tips in order to support you in preparing yourself easily for example very very simple tips don't wear something with a big logo of a commercial company in front of you something like this because we would like to avoid to make commercials within that and then you can share them on sked and add the link to those videos to your session description so participants will have all the information about your session at the same place okay and will help you promote your sessions once we see your video loaded send us a quick email and we're we will promote your sessions as well yeah you can share it also we are Twitter via Facebook whichever is your channel please go ahead and invite people looking at it okay so question does anybody have any questions about your particular sessions or actually anything that we might could help you with regarding the conference in Milan hi this is Bill I have a question I did hi so I'll be giving a presentation the 25 minute long one and I'll also be giving a lightning talk on the same topic so I'm wondering would you recommend that I create two separate videos or should I just use the one to promote both sessions do you have different goals for the different sessions because if you have different goals and you expect participants to get involved in a different way well it could be useful for you to prepare two of them otherwise if the aim is just one you can say in your video okay I am giving two sessions with the same goal the formats are different and I want to try them I don't know you have your reasons for choosing two different formats you know and you're welcome to do that so just be informally clear with your participants share with them which is your goal and what you expect from them which is the contribution you want to receive from this conference in order to be the next step thank you and I'm also wondering do you have a soft deadline for presenting the links for the videos to you well actually we we already shared the deadline which is I think at the end of this week right Susan yes um you can actually add it right up to we would appreciate it right up to the conference however if you can do it earlier it gives us an opportunity to promote your session as well as you promote your session so that was kind of the purpose of it is we were wanting them by the end of this week but I will admit mine's not ready either hoping to load it by Friday but if not do you when you have the opportunity right up until the last minute because I do think it'd be a great resource even after your session okay thank you and also I think it could be very useful for participants in advance I mean we have a huge number of sessions during the conference and many of them are in different formats so if it is about me I will go through the videos in order to choose which are the sessions that I might be able to attend while I'm jumping from one place to the other you know so as as I mean earlier the better according to this for participants of course right I know that for presenters it's not the same and I share with Susan I mean I also and this part shouldn't be recorded I received an invitation from the open education consortium to record a video about my keynote with students but actually yeah I remember that Susan but actually I am meeting online with the students next Monday so that's the chance I have to record the video together with them and that's what I'm willing to do so I will arrive later even if it's not required because keynotes are not required just me right Susan but thanks for your question Bill those are great questions and we'll be looking for your video okay thank you I'll have it ready by Friday thank you very much and really feel comfortable in using your smartphone it's not really it should be very informal don't worry about that it's just you need just to be clear on what you want to say okay formal and easy don't make it difficult yeah yeah yeah I'm sorry to keep stealing the time here I didn't receive an email about submitting them so should I reach out to somebody after the session to get that information go to the website let me back this up and I can also post it in the chat window but it's this link right here gives you some tips oops I'll make sure you get it Bill I'll make a note and send you the link but it's on our website if you just go to the video at the top the main the main bar you'll find the page for extensive videos okay thank you Susan and also we have a question from Catherine here about the action labs and we prepare a Google folder with materials for people to use of course you can and you're welcome to add the link to this folder to your session description everything that you want to share with participants can stay within the session description okay also the link to your video for the ex-ante version and also you can add the exposed video as soon as it is ready but please go ahead and invite participants from there because if they are going to join you they are going to bring also their devices I think yes you can add the link in Sked within your session description as soon as you create your own account in Sked you are allowed to to edit the session description okay so you can add both okay and also if you would need to invite the participants to bring their laptops and their tablets there you can do it there I mean many of them will arrive with their own devices anyway okay but if you needed them to bring them with you please go ahead and invite them to we need something like these for example if you want to see an example for the workshop that is going to be done in the plenary room by professor Kanina which is a design thinking professor here at Polytechnico and we added a note in order to invite participants to bring their own devices because they are going to prepare digital materials during the workshop you know so that it could be useful for them to have more than one device available any other question yeah it's not a question but I'm like after I've sent you an email earlier concerning the session formats so some things for the word cafe are enlisted under the presenters to do's but actually they should be moved to the participant like whoever is gonna like be the table leader it's the participants not the the presenter so so it wouldn't be confusing to the table leader actually you should be the presenter not the the participants the table leader huh maybe it's a little bit different than the ones I've conducted before but usually what happens is that you have somewhere between 15 to 30 participants it shouldn't be like an open something and it shouldn't be too little number and then you have like three to five tables and then participants would choose a leader on every table and they will stay and then they will change with other people so it's that there would be like a number of tables not one table unless you're doing it otherwise so I'm a little bit confused so yeah as I got it from you is that every presenter in a word cafe will have one table yeah each presenter will have one table okay each table will be focused on one goal okay it's not that we are going to have a multiple tables with the same goal and then people will move each table will have a different presenter so the presenter is going to be let's say the table leader okay okay so there will be other sessions with different subjects yes during I mean the session will be in a huge corridor we will have something like seven or eight tables okay with more than which the papercloth and each table will be for a presenter with a specific objective okay and then all will work for whatever an hour on one table on one's one objective and then they will move to another table with a different presenter and a different aim okay okay cool and then how how how will the sessions eventually lead into one thing like will there be somebody coordinating all of these sessions so they would eventually come back with like a feedback or like what people have took away this is up to each table leader which is the presenter okay they will have three terms of people coming to their table they are all working on the same paper tablecloth and in the end the result of that particular activity on that table will be shared through an exposed video okay and together with photos okay it's a modified version of work yeah okay perfect thank you yeah it's a little bit different from the one yeah now there is more than one for yeah okay any other question doesn't seem so well we will if there's no more questions we'll let you go about 15 minutes early because I know we are crossing many many many time zones some of us it's really really early we've not even had coffee and some of us want to go to bed yeah no sorry Susan we still have two questions oh good go ahead one one from Catherine action lab questions can we expect people to stay the entire time during the action lab yes I would say that it is expected that people are going to stay the whole time what we tried to do actually in when we were writing the program is not to create us I mean we tried to avoid at least to create the problems within different schedule for different sessions we did our best we know that it could happen that people can choose two of them it's up to them to choose I mean it could be anyway I mean we are not linking anyone to the chairs it's up to the presenter to make this choice but we are not providing chains on site okay so if you want to to keep people around your table it's up to you to tell them they are free to move we expect them to stay anyway okay different topic how long does it take from the University to the Triennale I would I would put out for an hour on that because it's just one train and there are huge number of trains that go from Milano Bovisa station to Milano Cadorna station which is the stop to be used in order to reach Triennale which is then I don't know five minutes walk very close to that and so we calculated the time to move from the award ceremony to the opening reception and we enlarged it a little so it's a I think it's around one hour even if Bea I see that you write that that is tight but great topic be appreciate you bringing it up yeah we run I don't think that it will be neither you know because the ceremony will end in around 6 30 and the open ceremony will start at past seven it's plenty of time we have a lot a huge number of trains we already checked I mean it okay it's not the moment in time behind which you can have a walk around the city okay I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't plan that in between but we are going to wake you with some Italian food and it will be a very easy moment at the opening reception we are also going to have we are going to have some guests there yeah which informally will share some information about the city maybe something that could be worth seeing so yeah actually I do plan on having some information on the website later this week about some guests that will be attending the opening ceremony that it'll be fun we're looking forward to it looking forward to meeting her and Gino thank you hope you're so thank you Gino hope you're feeling better we look forward to seeing you and Milan any more questions from anyone I mean if you think of anything feel free to reach out to us oh yes personally or to the conference email that's on the website anytime if something else comes up that you have a question about yeah okay so thanks everyone thanks everyone appreciate your time the recording will be on the website later this afternoon okay yeah ciao ciao
