Electronic Copies of Presentation Materials (aka "eHandouts")
This year and moving forward, we are producing approximately 25 physical
copies of each session's presentation materials. These copies will be available
for distribute during each live presentations at RPG World. These physical
copies are being provided for those attendees with any type of vision impairment
and those who prefer to have a physical copy in front of them during the
lecture. Classes (called "sessions") at RPG World have a range of 20 to 80+
attendees per class. With 150+ attendees at this year's RPG World and 3
concurrent classes running at any given time, we expect this range to hold true
this year as well.
Where to find eHandouts?
We will have a website set up approximately 2 business days prior tot he
start of RPG World. That website is:
www.eHandouts.us
You will be prompted for your User ID and Password. As an RPG World
attendee, your user ID is the email address you registered with, and
your password is your Confirmation number (also referred to as your invoice
number). Once again, that website address is:
www.eHandouts.us
Why eHandouts?
Our goal is to eventually move to nearly 100% electronic distribution of
presentation materials. This provides several benefits, including but not
limited to the following:
- Less waist. Near 85% of all printed presentation
materials "handouts" are discarded in the hotel room prior to checking out
of the hotel.
- Less weight to carry home on the plane. If you prefer a
printed copy for reference back at the office, you can print one from the
PDF version from your desk back at the office.
- Up-to-date materials. Instructors can modify their
presentations nearly up to the last minute by simply refreshing the on-line
PDF file. So you always have access to the most current materials.
- More Presentations. In addition to the sessions
schedule for RPG World, additional content is also provided for sessions not
given live at the conference.
- View materials on your laptop during class. Many
attendees bring their laptop computer with them. By downloading the PDFs
prior to attending class, you can view the presentation along with the
Instructor. If you don't have time prior to class start to download them,
you can do so right in class with a wi-fi card as we provide free on-site
wireless Internet access to our secure Handout downloads page on
www.RPGWorld.com/handouts
- Download the materials from classes you did not attend.
Since every presentation will be available on-line, you can review the
materials for every presentation given at RPG World--no more running from
room to room to "steal" a handout before settling in to the class you really
want to attend. Just focus on what you're there for, attending great
classes--then go back and download the handout for classes you sat through
and those you missed.
- More content. In addition to PDF versions of the
PowerPoint presentations, we also include access to any source code the
instructors create for their classes. This means you don't have to go back
and keypunch in a bunch of source code; just download it!
