Video session
Video session:
Central connecting element
3 – 6 institutes
90 min (16:30 – 18:00)
Presentation by moderators, global combination, discussion, Q&A, quiz
No teachers video sessions
9 moderators (4 sessions each), introduction by Peter Steinbach/CERN

Video session
Great for students
if technically working and lively
• strict admission procedure after successful test
with final equipment at final place
• hardware recommendations
• EVO tests: 2. – 10.2. (52 institutes passed, 26 failed)
• additional tests with better equipment: 2. – 5.3.
• no exclusions necessary, but few institutes retreated
If not:
14
Video session
EVO tests: large workload
Continuing support ?Marek and Knut leaving CERN
EVO-workshop for moderators?

Feedback
+ organisation+ distribution of information+ preparation of material+ CD
- Video/audio transmission- CERN presentations too long- Lenghty discussion of results- Video session too long
