Abstract

Presenting posters at conferences is an effective way for students to develop creative, scientific and communication skills. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a shift to online conferences for HEIs. The Open University has been running online student conferences as part of their modules for several years, so we were well-placed to run an online student science conference during Spring 2020. Here we share experiences of tutors and students of this conference, which was specifically designed to develop student skills. Our work is relevant to anyone considering how to develop online student conferences for all situations where face-to-face participation is not feasible
