Virtually Connecting

Virtually Connecting

Connecting participants to conferences virtually for conversations.

The purpose of Virtually Connecting is to enliven virtual participation in academic conferences, widening access to a fuller conference experience for those who cannot be physically present at conferences. We are a community of volunteers and it is always free to participate.

Using emerging technologies, we connect onsite conference presenters and attendees with virtual participants in small groups. This allows virtual conference participants to meet and talk with conference presenters and attendees in what often feels like those great spontaneous hallway conversations, something not usually possible for a virtual experience. There is only room for 10 in each session but we record and, whenever possible, live stream, to allow additional virtual attendees to participate in the discussion by listening and asking questions via Twitter.

In December of 2016 VC decided to license our videos CC BY-NC-ND. This means that you are welcome to share or re-post VC videos in their entirety, so long as the purpose you’re doing it for is “non-commercial,” which is defined as follows: ““NonCommercial means not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation.” Please see here for more information about the NC license.Note: all of our videos prior to December 2016 have the more restrictive “standard YouTube license” listed on the YouTube page. We are in process of changing these to CC-BY-NC-ND but it may take us some time. More about their reuse policy here: http://virtuallyconnecting.org/reuse/
