Videconference Plan

Revised Feb 2024. There is no provision for reports from Institutes*. 

Time from start Item Remarks
-00:10 Moderators arrive; institutes log in
  • test and establish video and audio connections
+00:00 Start
  • introductions of moderators, institutes, map; warm-up questions, if any
+00:05 Combined results
  • show combined result from that day
  • for LHC masterclasses, show ATLAS or CMS "pro" results
  • Let students ask questions if they have them. Answer succinctly. Do not try to draw them into a socratic lesson.
+00:10 Virtiual Visit
  • Live or video tour of some aspect of Fermilab or another site
  • If there is time, add a Fermilab story or presonal observation.
+00:20 Q&A
  • moderators take questions from students
+00:30 Videoconference ends
  • students may leave or stay for more questions if they are inclined

*Some will present results anyway. That is OK.

Suggestions on how to be an effective Masterclass moderator:
You might know most of this already...but we still need to remind ourselves. Please send in items to add to this list.

  • Speak clearly and succinctly
  • Show your sense of humor
  • Avoid too many explanations: draw ideas from students and then help them
  • When you do explain, keep it short and direct
  • Encourage students to speak up, give their views, and back them up
  • Mind the schedule
  • Be friendly
  • It is alright to disagree...with mentors, students, or each other
  • Let students get a feel for how you see data and analysis
  • Be familiar with the Masterclass measurement
  • Show your enthusiasm
  • Work as a team
