A couple of points:

If files relating to the presentations were posted more promptly (the day after the presentation), they would arouse more interest from other teachers.

If files were posted by the presenter him/herself, it would remove the barrier of ‘LTD’ between the presenter and other teachers. Other teachers could then use this commenting function to discuss the files, and ask questions to the presenter.

It’s important to keep in mind that the presentations were the results of the labour of the presenter him/herself.
