Virtual Workshop April 2016

The Virtual Workshop will bring together a group of international scholars and OpenSim experts to help each other advance their research using modeling and simulation. The OpenSim team at Stanford University will provide guidance on your projects, while also facilitating discussion and support amongst your fellow Workshop participants. We hope that this event can accelerate your work while also building relationships with a network of researchers and engineers who are using OpenSim for research.

Below, we have provided a list of information and resources for the Workshop. Please check back regularly, since we will add more links and information as we get closer to the workshop start date.

Webinar

Welcome Webinar

The OpenSim team delivered a liveWelcome Webinar on Monday, April 25th at 10am (US PDT). The Webinar featured a short talk followed by questions from the audience about Workshop logistics. The Webinar recording is available in case you missed it. You can also download and review the Webinar slides.   

Closing Webinar

The live Closing Webinar will be held Friday, May 6th at 10am (US PDT). The Webinar recording is available in case you missed it.

Google Slides (Project Goals and accomplishments)

The Workshop Goal slides can be found here. The Goal slides are an Online Poster presentation where you get to show off your work, ask questions, and provide support to your Workshop colleagues. Carefully read and follow the instructions and examples presented on slide 1-3. We’ll also give out prizes based on the discussion about the projects. You must complete your workshop goals slide by Monday, April 25th at 9am (US PDT), and drop in throughout the day to join the discussion.

The Workshop Accomplishment slides can be found hereThe Accomplishment slides are an Online Poster presentation to share your accomplishments and what you’ve learned. Carefully read and follow the instructions and examples presented on slide 1-5. Each group should have at most three slides, including a single goal slide. Please complete your slides by noon, Thursday, May 5th (PDT), when voting for project awards will start. 

Awards Voting 

Vote for your colleagues here! Voting can begin after noon today (PDT). The awards include Biggest Research Discovery, Technical Grand Prize, Coolest Demo or Video, and Best Blooper. Award winners will be invited to present their slides and talk about their workshop experience during the closing webinar.


Question and Answer Forum

The Q&A site is very similar to stack overflow. Follow the links to find simple guides for asking good questions and providing helpful answers. During the workshop, the OpenSim team will devote part of each day to answering questions, but we hope that participants will be active in answering each other's questions, as well. The workshop is about sharing experience and building community. Remember that it is better to ask a greater number of smaller, tractable questions than a single, large post with multiple questions. Try to be specific. Use tags liberally, upvote answers that you find very helpful, and contribute your experience. Be positive and have fun!
