dltj-org-4212		Should All Conference Talks be Pre-recorded? | Disruptive Library Technology Jester			.html	text/html	1676	121	72	That meeting used all pre-recorded talks, and we saw the benefits of pre-recording for attendees, presenters, and conference organizers. I've been to two online conferences this year: NISOplus21 and Code4Lib. Both meetings recorded talks in advance and started playback of the recordings at a fixed point in time. During the Code4Lib conference coordinating debrief call, I asked the question: "If we saw so many benefits to pre-recording talks, do we want to pre-record them all next year?" In addition to the reasons above, pre-recorded talks benefit those who are not comfortable speaking English or are first-time presenters. There are undoubtedly reasons not to pre-record all session talks (beyond the feels-weird-to-stare-at-an-unoccupied-ballroom-podium reasons). Better quality: speakers can re-record their talk as many times as needed More Thoughts on Pre-recording Conference Talks Over the weekend, I posted an article here about pre-recording conference talks and sent a tweet about the idea on Monday.	./cache/dltj-org-4212.html	./txt/dltj-org-4212.txt
