Information for ISV presenters
Welcome
Thank you for being part of the team of consultants designing contemporary professional learning experiences through Independent Schools Victoria (ISV).
We are excited about our diverse range of programs which includes webinars and self-paced courses through our online platform, isLearn, as well as in-person events at the Development Centre. Every learning event will have a Digital Companion (an online component powered by Canvas, allowing engagement with participants before, during and after their learning event).
The information provided here is to support your work. We want to ensure that presenting at ISV is a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Should you have any questions or feedback please don’t hesitate to contact us on (03) 9825 7200 or email us at isLearn@is.vic.edu.au.

We also have an artist on staff who will illustrates many of our events. If this available for your event, we will seek your permission prior to your session and your get approval of the final artwork before it is released.

Tips
- Move between the room-facing camera and presenter-facing camera so online participants have different perspectives
- Use gallery view in Zoom at times so that the online audience is viewable by those in-person
- Consider how you will run activities, hold small group discussions and provide materials to ensure the learning experience is optomised for all participants allow online participants to feedback to the in-person group.
The digital companion is designed for participants to engage with before, during and after their learning event. We ask that you support this aim by adding any resources to the course and alerting participants to access them through Canvas.
