Hello!

My doctoral supervisor tells me that my oral thesis defence will have to be done online via Skype or FaceTime or something, since I'm in Canada, my external examiner is in the US, and my internal examiner is in the UK.

Does anyone have any experiences with doing a defence in this manner? What software or equipment did you use?

Would you recommend this approach or is it better to push for doing it in person?

Do you have any advice or anything else to share?

Thanks!
