All recorded material will be due to be uploaded on the 8th of September 2020, a week before the conference. For a vlog a simple webcam or screen recording of a 10 minutes talk would be fine. Guidance will be available for participants who wish to produce a more sophisticated video presentation that merges the webcam video of the speaker with a screen recording of the PowerPoint or Prezi presentation, clips, live shots of a website, etc.
