[#DIV28SUPER] FW: Updates on how APA 2020 Virtual works and how to access divisional material

Some great tips from Susan Collins (Division 50 program chair) on how to access the virtual convention content. Sounds like with everyone on their all at once (there's over 13000 registrants), there is some lag in the servers right now, but that's the benefit of having the content up there for one year :)

Best,
Justin

Hi all,
 
Good morning and welcome to APA 2020 Virtual Convention! The convention "Main Stage" and Division 50 content is now available. I will say, the system has been VERY sticky this morning, so be patient as each page will have a delay until you see options/can click. While you wait, do some breathing exercises, grab a coffee, pet the dog, watch the main stage session with Soledad O'Brien ❤  It might take a bit, but it does eventually work. I assume this is because so many are logging on at the same time.
 
To get to the Division 50 content (they don't make it easy ðŸ˜‰):
  1. You should have received an email after you registered that gives you your "on-demand" login and password. Hold on to that.
  2. Go to www.convention.apa.org. And click on the button that says "Join APA 2020 Virtual."
  3. Click on the button that says "On Demand."
  4. From there or before you access programming, you might be prompted to enter your on-demand login and password. That's the one you received in the APA email.
  5. Pause, take a breath, get some coffee while it loads. Then, scroll down a little and you will see buttons including "Search by Division" or "Search by author" – you can do either, of course.
  6. If you click on "search by division," you will have Div 1 as the default. You will click arrow down to find and click on "Division 50"  and you will have pulled up all of our posters, symposia, skill-building sessions. 
  7. As you scroll down you will see first posters, skill-building sessions and then symposia. And you can click on the screen with the arrow to play that content.
 
Please scroll down to see how things work for accessing all the convention content. This is basically the information in the email you will receive when you register.  
If you have technical difficulties that are not resolved with the below, APA 2020 Virtual Registration and Login help is available at convention@apa.org or you can call: 202-336-6020 or 202-336-5580.
Thanks, all!
Susan
