    It was a comprehensive overviw off all sources we can use (and use better) to help our translating activity. I discovered a lot of things I didn't know at all and will be extremely helpful in the coming weeks.

    The pace was perfect. I had time to jot down some notes and still keep up with the presentation. I had some trouble viewing the live screen pages (not the PowerPoint pages), but overall it was very useful and I learned about some new, effective tools and sites!
