Instructions

You have been issued with a full guide to participation in the virtual conference; if you do not have access to your copy, it is on the virtual campus. The notes below are very brief key points.

The key to your participation in the virtual conference is your discussion paper (this is the summary of your full, hard copy that you post on the website). It is best for you to write your discussion paper in MS Word first, then copy and paste it to the website. Remember to spell-check your work – and check for grammar and expression – before submission!!!

The conference will be open in a 'pre-conference' phase for you to post your discussion paper on 1 and 3 May. In order to do this, you will need to log in (you would have received your log in details in an email message to your student account) and select the appropriate strand of the conference. Please note that you may submit your discussion paper ONCE only; you cannot remove and replace it.

The conference proper will be in session from 4 to 10 May. You may submit your commentary any time in this period. Note that you need to log in, select ONE paper and submit a commentary on it. You will find a button at the foot of each discussion paper, allowing you to submit a commentary. Try to give a different title to your commentary to any that might already be posted there.

This conference website is searchable – by single key words, phrases, author, enrolment numbers and title.

Please conduct yourselves responsibly – the material on this site is being assessed and is also public. You are representing the University generally and Tourism specifically out there. Staff will be monitoring the site and reserve the right to remove any material we deem to be inappropriate.

Remember to tell us how you felt about participating in this conference! You can do this anonymously if you wish; the important thing is that we get a sense from you of what you thought of the experience. Post comments in the forum.
