Click on the title (1) to open it

• Click on any Tile (2) to explore its content
• Click on the X button (3) to close the viewer and return to the Showcase

If the author has provided the full list of authors in their ePoster details then you can also view the full list of authors whilst browsing the ePosters on the showcase. Just move your mouse over the author’s name and the full list of authors will show up.

On the showcase you can search by typing your search text in the search box (1) and pressing enter. The search looks for matches in the ePoster title, authors, poster number (if included by the conference) and description. If you want to search for a specific phrase then enclose it in quote marks (e.g. “simulation in teaching” or “Joan Davis”).

You can also choose to search by Tags. Click on the Tags button (2a) and then start typing the tag name you want to search for in the Tag box (2b) that appears. The system will suggest matching tags from those that are being used by authors in this showcase. You can also search by Tags by simply clicking on a Tag in an ePoster’s summary box.

If your event has grouped the ePosters into sessions or categories then you can choose to show or hide (3) the session and category buttons. If the session and category buttons are showing (4) then you can click on a session or category button to filter the view and only show the ePosters in that session or category.

You can also browse by simply scrolling down the showcase screen. More stacks/ePosters will appear as you scroll down the page. 

And if your event has been using Learning Toolbox for several years, then you can also use the drop down menu (5) to switch to view stacks/ePosters from another year.

Each ePoster stack has its own chat area (unless the author has turned this off).

Click on the chat icon and you will be prompted to sign-in. You can create a free local Learning Toolbox account or sign-in via one of the social media routes offered.

You will then be able to view any chat messages that have been posted to the stack/ePoster and send your own message. You can also choose to turn on email notifications if you want to receive emails when new chat messages are posted to this ePoster. The email notifications will be sent to the email address that you used when signing in to Learning Toolbox.

You can favourite any stack/ePoster by clicking on the star-shaped favourite button.

You can filter the view to see all the ePosters that you have favourited in a showcase by clicking on the My Favourites button on the Showcase. If you are not signed in then your favourites will just include the showcase stacks/ePosters you have favourited on the device you are using. If you have signed-in then your favourites will include all the showcase stacks/ePosters that you have favourited (when signed-in with this account) on any device. To turn off this filter just click on the My Favourites button again.

You can also see your list of your favourited ePosters when you are viewing an ePoster. Just click on the More Menu (1) and choose My Favourites (2).
