• Use of networked technologies to amplifying the event beyond the physical location
• Pattern of behaviours rather than a prescriptive term• It is possible to carry out:
– Amplification within an event– Amplification outwards during an event– Amplification after an event
• Concept of face-to-face events, online events and hybrid events

• Doing more with less – resource implications £££• Can share your outputs with a much wider group
of people• Can reuse outputs• Better impact, better value – e.g REF – now 20%• Environmental reasons• Good to get experience and knowledge of
technologies• Puts your department in a good position if you
are seen to be at the front when it comes to understanding these technologies
Why Amplify?

• The best way to understand an amplified event is to participate in one
• JISC has a commitment to amplification and offers guidance for online participants
• Can often register for events and receive email reminders
• Join the online community (e.g. Linked in, wiki etc.)• Find out what you can in advance (e.g. timings,
programme etc.)• Share your thoughts on the event (e.g. blog
afterwards)

21
• Many events are livestreamed• Will often need to ensure you have the right
software on your PC – check in advance• Be helpful - Offer feedback on the image and
sound quality, say if you are having problems• Try it on your mobile?• Watch videos after the event
2. By Watching…
![Page 22: The Benefits of Amplified Events](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5553d2c3b4c905c4048b4ba3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
• Sign up for a Twitter account• Follow @eventamplifier to get heads up on events• Follow the live commentary (e.g. @jisclive) and
the event hashtag (e.g. #jisc11) – use a desktop application (e.g. Tweetdeck)
• Often there are Twitter groups of attendees (e.g. @JISCEvents/remote)
• Geotag tweets• Introduce yourself• If you are at the event why not meet up with
fellow tweeters
3. By Tweeting…

23
• Your tweets are available for all to see• Respect others when commenting• Respect those in your office (i.e. wear
headphones)• Avoid the quiet area if at event• You don’t need to ‘suffer in silence’ – JISC
policy• “The event cannot be amplified without your
voices.”• Feedback is essential to event organisers• You can dip in and out, but to get the full
experience you may need to turn off distractions
• You could schedule the event like any other in your calendar
• You could watch the event with others in a ‘hub’

“One advantage of remote attendance is that key lessons learned are not diluted by travel home. You are
right there in your seat of power ready to implement changes. However getting uninterrupted time is very difficult. Perhaps you could set up regional hubs and
connect nodes together.”
“Personally after 5 yrs or so in HE I have conference burnout, so remote suits me well.”

‘back stage access’• There are always lessons to be learnt – why not
share them
