LTB Support Page for WONCA

WONCA is using the Learning Toolbox platform for the conference ePosters.

You should create an ePoster stack in Learning Toolbox and add your ePoster PDF file to the stack.

Please ensure that your ePoster PDF file includes the main sections—Background, Aim, Methods, Results, and Conclusions

Please ensure that your ePoster PDF file is designed in 9:16 portrait orientation. You can download the official WONCA APR 2024 ePoster here. 

Including additional resources into your ePoster stack is optional. If you do add extra content to your ePoster stack then viewers will be able to see and interact with all the content you have added when they view your ePoster stack. Viewers will be able to post questions or comments in the chat area of each ePoster stack. 

All ePosters will be displayed on a digital screen during your presentation. The digital screen will be in portrait orientation which is why the ePoster PDF file that you add to your stack should also be in portrait orientation.

There is no need to print and bring a physical poster to the venue. WONCA are not using the printed summary posters in Learning Toolbox, so you do not need to generate and bring those.

Please finalise your ePoster stack by 31 July at the latest. 

Learning Toolbox supports an exciting new approach to ePosters (and more generally content sharing) at online, hybrid and onsite conferences and events.

Using Learning Toolbox you will create a Stack/ePoster (a collection of material that could include a presentation, video, weblinks and more) that you can use to present and share your work at the event.

People will be able to easily view and interact with your ePoster by browsing the online ePoster showcase. Your ePosters will be available for people to explore throughout the event and can also be presented in a scheduled session if your event supports this.

Viewers can open your ePoster and explore all the rich content you have added. Viewers can also post questions or comments to your ePoster, to which you can respond. This text chat discussion will be attached to your ePoster and can continue after the event. Viewers can also favourite your ePoster so that they can return to it more easily.

Your ePoster will also live beyond the event, as you can continue to share it and (in some cases) even add to it after the event.

Your ePoster can even have a physical presence in the real world. Within Learning Toolbox you can create a summary poster that acts as an advert for and gateway into your interactive ePoster. People can simply scan the QR code on the summary poster and your interactive ePoster will open on their phone/tablet.

Some onsite and hybrid conferences print these summary posters and use them as a way of promoting the ePosters onsite. You can of course print the summary poster yourself and use it wherever you want to promote your work and provide access to it.

We know that some people prefer to follow a written guide, so we have produced this short guide that takes you through the key steps involved in making a simple ePoster/stack for a conference.

Getting started – Create an LTB stack for a conference v2.0 (updated 23rd May 2020)

Many conferences are now using Learning Toolbox to present, share and discuss research. We have seen some great examples of ePosters/stacks created by authors attending these conferences. The 3 minute video below explores some of the great ePosters made by authors using Learning Toolbox.

If your country does not allow access to the Vimeo video streaming service then you can access this video here instead.

You can see and interact with these great ePosters (and more) on the Learning Toolbox Showcase. These ePosters are live and still being used by authors to present and share their work. You will see that they vary in terms of what content they include and how they are structured, but they have all made great use of the platform to present their work.

Of course your own ePoster/stack does not need to be as sophisticated as these examples – a simple and effective ePoster/stack may just contain the abstract, a presentation and a link to a website for example. But we hope these examples may give you an idea of what is possible and some ideas of the type of material you could include to give people a richer view of your work.

We would like to thank the authors of these ePosters/stacks for agreeing to their excellent work being showcased here. If you have come across any brilliant Learning Toolbox ePosters that you would like to see added to this showcase then please let us know so that we can contact the author and ask for their permission to add them.

Thousands of ePoster authors are using Learning Toolbox to share and present their work at conferences and events. The ePosters can be as simple as an uploaded PDF file, but can also include more interactive and engaging material, as well as background information.

Below are short videos with 4 of our authors in which they talk about what they chose to include in their ePosters. Thank you very much to Amy, Komal, Nathan and Sytske for making these videos. We hope they inspire and help new authors.
