Posting Handouts to the MACUL19 App Please post your handouts and electronic resources to the MACUL19 app for prospective participants. We know, from their feedback in prior years, that participants are particularly grateful for any handouts they can access. Direction for uploading are in the email from above. NOTE: You can only upload .PDF documents to the app. The app supports the upload of files only (not web links). For best results, upload PDFs with a max filesize of 6mb. Upload your presentation and/or handouts (PDF format, with a maximum size of 6MB). If you have web links that you wish to share (such as Google Documents, Slides Presentations, your school website), copy and paste all the links you wish to share with participants onto a document, and then save it as a PDF. This PDF is what you will upload to the app. See instructions below for tips to ensure that your Google files are shared correctly. "Anyone with the link can view" - Share Google Resources and use a URL Shortener  Prompting Attendees to Create a Copy
 To encourage attendees to make a copy of your presentation, you can bypass the entire, "Make a copy" by prompting them to make a copy when they click on your URL by making this minor change, delete the "/edit?usp=sharing" at the end of your file address and replace it with "/copy" For example, this link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1CHBILpEzTZWXDXL1hqQZSce6Hvc3cEIwhQAytCcqG8g/edit?usp=sharing becomes https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1CHBILpEzTZWXDXL1hqQZSce6Hvc3cEIwhQAytCcqG8g/copy Now all participants need to do is click "Make a copy" and now they have their own version for adding notes. This is similar to when teachers use Google Classroom to create a copy of a Google file for each student. Remember, once a copy is created, any changes to your document will not be reflected in their copy of the document. And this trick will not work with folders. It only works with individual files. Make it even more user friendly by using the special "make a copy URL" along with a URL Shortener such as bit.ly Now a URL such as http://bit.ly/migoogleprojects takes a user directly to the prompt to Make a copy of your file. |
