Schedule<https://nwelearn.org/conference/2021-program/> tips:

  *   To get the Zoom join buttons in the schedule, enter the registration password (that you were sent after registration or in the reminder email) or the email address you used to register.  You can register<https://elcc.corsizio.com/c/5ff7910a7eb2d1dbcd23829a> on the spot and you will receive an email confirmation.
  *   You can star sessions to add them to your favorites and then show only your favorited sessions by clicking on the "Show only my favorites" button. Your favorites are remembered so you can come back, reload the page, etc. and they'll still be there (assuming you're using the same browser).
  *   Like the above, the time zone you choose is remembered so when you come back to the page, it'll keep that time zone selected. (Be sure to select the correct time zone!)
  *   When the session ends, the zoom link will be replaced with "This session has passed" text.
  *   When the session is in progress, the zoom join link will say Join – session in progress (the link will be available until the session has ended).
  *   When the session is less than 15 minutes away, there's a little countdown above the join link that counts down to the session start.

Also, lastly, most of the sessions will be recorded, however with over 100 sessions, it will be a bit before we can get them up.
