[nabs-l] Moderating a discussion

[justin williams]

Question one

Maybe you could write things down in whatever note taking medium you prefer.
Question two Having never done a panel before, I would hesitate to give you
advice on this one short of having people just say I have a question, and
state their name.
Question three
Use a braille watch, or just keep your earphone in and use the notetaker to
keep time so no one hears it.
Question four
If you need the pannelest, use them.

Subject: [nabs-l] Moderating a discussion

Hi all,

I hope this message finds you well. I will be hosting a panel discussion at
an upcoming conference that is being conducted by a student-led organization
at Harvard. I wanted to know what coping strategies would be useful to make
the discussion as seamless as possible. My job would fundamentally revolve
around introducing panelists, asking questions and facilitating  q and a of
the audience with the panelists. I would be grateful if anyone could provide
suggestions on the following issues:
1. What would be the best strategy to remember things such as  the intro of
panelists and my questions for them?
2. Typically, the moderator selects people from the audience for asking
questions. How should I address this issue?
3.  Can you think of a seamless way to keep track of time without causing
any inconvenience to the speakers and the audience?
4. Should I ask the panelists for any accommodation?

Best,
Rahul
