Click on the "get" button found just below the apps name, or if like me, you used the NCORE App last year, select the cloud with a downwards arrow to begin downloading the app. Wait for the application to download fully. 6. An open button will appear in place of the cloud with the downwards arrow; tap the open button. 7. The NCORE 2018 App will then open and you will see this screen.

Feel free to explore at this point, or continue on to learn a little bit more about some of the features. First try clicking the magnifying glass icon at the top. 10. Once there you can search the whole guide for keywords that you may be interested in. Try a few out and see what sessions come up!

Now let s go back out by clicking the back arrow and then the three dashes again, and this time selecting the Southwest Center for Human Relations Studies Executive Committee Members icon. 12. Most features in the guide display similarly, and are very user friendly. Here is what the new tab looks like, try clicking Roksana Alavi. Within this you can read all about some of the executive committee members, just as you would in the printed program guide.

You can also navigate the day by clicking the day at the top, and sessions are listed in order by Index# and start time, so by scrolling you can access the rest of the day s sessions. 14. Once you enter a session you will see its session ID number, title, date & time, session type, location, and description. Tapping the location will bring up the digital map. Try scrolling to the bottom of that first session (1101) now. 15. At the bottom of each session is a box highlighting the keywords associated with the session, and a Evaluate this Session button. After attending a session you can use this button to digitally evaluate it reducing the need for paper evaluations!

As you can see in this image, on the right next to each session is a small + sign. Find a session you would be interested in attending like 3018 Confronting Anti-Immigrant Hysteria and tap that small + sign next to that session. 17. You will then be prompted to add that session to your My Schedule tab. You can set a reminder on any items you add to your My Schedule tab. You can just click None if you would like no reminder. Try adding a couple sessions you might be interested in attending using this same method. 18. Once you have added a couple sessions, try backing out and then selecting the My Schedule tab from the main menu. Using this feature will help you organize which sessions you wish to attend at the conference!! This is an example of what a My Schedule may look like. Tapping the check mark will remove the session from your My Schedule tab. Next, I will show you examples of a few other features available from the main menu. 31st ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RACE AND ETHNICITY IN AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION 7
