At first, based on the title, I thought this was a great new way to help people attending a conference to experience different sessions virtually, so they didn't miss out on multiple simultaneous sessions that are the norm for a conference experience. Alas, no, it's just a standard presentation on how do design a self-paced module for a course, and looks at such standards as chunking, flexible resources, and keeping the cohort connected. But it would be a good idea to convert conference sessions into virtual experiences - not just a video recording of someone talking and showing slides, but something engaging and interactive.
