Best practices for creating a Seminar

A step-by-step guide with best practices for creating high-quality, case-based teaching sessions.

πŸ”Ή Step 1. Pre-Upload: Prepare Your Case

Before uploading a case:

  • Preview and remove unnecessary series or images

  • Aim to upload only essential images or series

Fewer images help:

  • Maintain audience focus

  • Improves upload and access speeds

⚠️ You won’t be able to delete a series or image from your case after this point.
Please preview and remove any unwanted series or images before uploading case data or creating a draft case.



πŸ”Ή Step 2. Draft Case

When creating your Draft case:

  • Set a preferred hanging protocol

  • Include:

    • Title (e.g., pathology or clinical condition)

    • Clinical details

    • Suggested diagnosis / Imaging findings + confidence level

    • Suggested Follow-up (optional)

πŸ’‘ Tip: Adding complete details early will streamline seminar setup.

  • Publish the case to an event group or a personal group.
  • πŸ”§ Optional: After publication, use the Add Study to Case, Edit Case, or Revert to Draft options to include more content or make further adjustments to your case.

πŸ”Ή Step 3. Create a Collection - Case Playlist

  • Create a new Collection and add each published case via the case options.

  • Your collection can include your cases from other groups as long as:

    • You are the publisher of the case and have created the collection

      seminar-1
  • Use drag and drop to order your cases in the collection

  • When ready, click Create a Seminar from the collection options at the top.


πŸ”Ή Step 4. Curate Your New Seminar

Use the ✏️ pencil tool to edit:

  • Modify the Seminar name, Case titles, Diagnosis, and Clinical Detail fields (optional)
  • Hide or unhide the Diagnosis and Clinical Details fields.

  • For each case, you can add multiple-choice questions and Polls using the Questions button.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Investing time in creating high-quality content pays off in long-term reuse.

πŸ”Ή Step 5. Final Review and Share

  • Review the seminar from start to finish before presenting.

  • Check that cases or text fields not meant for the audience to see at launch are hidden.

  • Click Share, and set access start/end dates, + Add a password.seminar share

  • Tip: Use a URL shortener or hyperlink to tidy the long link (optional)

  • Present the seminar to reveal answers and control hidden fields.

πŸ“ Additional Tips

  • Editing Cases Within Seminars
    Changes made inside a seminar will not affect the original published case β€” ideal for adapting the same case to different audiences.
  • The default viewer layout of the original case will be applied and cannot be modified for a seminar case.
πŸ”’ Locking Access to an audience 
To restrict audience access at any time:

Share the seminar again - changing the password, and/or defining new access dates.

πŸ’‘ Tip: To practice or preview the audience view, open the shared link in an incognito/private tab (Companion Mode).
