Setting Up a Session

Previously if you wanted to give a training to pathologists, you'd need a full briefcase: you'd need enough exemplar slides for all your students per indication/biomarker, exam forms, case information… and that's before you even begin to consider the microscopes!

Projects and sessions were designed to completely eradicate the need for these suitcases. A project contains everything you need to train other pathologists.

A session contains:

  1. All your participants
  2. The ability to invite and/or contact all of them at once
  3. Tracking of email invitations and logins
  4. Forms to capture the data from the participants
  5. Reader manuals / interpretation guides (videos, powerpoints, pdf's, etc)
  6. Cases collections ('slide boxes') which all your participants can see at once
  7. Consensus scores

Walkthrough

You can follow this video to get started, or go through the illustrated guide that follows it

You can make a new session in two ways:

A) By navigating to the details tab of your project and clicking the bluetext prompt to add a new training session (1):

B) Navigating to the training sessions tab in the sidebar and clicking “Create” (1):

You will be presented with the Training session Create page, in which you can

  1. Select the project you want to base this training session on. If you used method A to get here, your project will already be filled in.
  2. Give a title to your training session
  3. Select the region in which it will be based if you have several georeplication servers on your account
  4. See and select case collection(s) that have been created for this project

When you're ready, click save to create the training session.

Well done! You've created your first training session. Now it's time to add participants or put on some finishing touches
