A webinar session is a live, one-hour web-based training seminar. The webinars are presented/facilitated by one or both authors of the book. You will be able to view the presenters slides and hear the webinar audio. During select webinars, you will have an opportunity to submit questions to the presenter(s) in advance of and during the webinar.
Accessibility and Connectivity
You connect to the webinar from your home or office via the Internet and/or by phone. The presenter’s slides are displayed on your computer in an Internet window. You hear the webinar audio either through your computer over the Internet or by telephone. To access the audio using your computer requires speakers and a microphone on your computer. A headset is best to prevent audio feedback.
The computer technical requirements are:
- PC-based Participants: Windows® 2000, XP Home, XP Pro, 2003 Server, Vista
- Macintosh®-based Participants: Mac OS® X 10.4 (Tiger®) or newer
Signing On
Please join the webinar a few minutes early. During this preliminary time, you will initiate a download of GoToWebinar software that facilitates your participation in the webinar. This download may take 60 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the speed of your Internet connection. A Chalmers Center webinar moderator will be present 15 minutes prior to the start of each webinar to address any technical difficulties you may encounter.
Webinar Software
A webinar introduction and orientation (Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation with audio) and a GoToWebinars webinar reference guide are available to help you become familiar with the GoToWebinar software. Note that the slide presentation document is large (3.1 MB). Once it is downloaded, click on the "Slide Show" icon to start the presentation. Please watch this slide show a few times so that you are familiar with it during the webinar. Also, we strongly recommend that you print the reference guide and have it available during the webinar.
Webinar Audio Options
To join the audio portion of the webinar you have two choices. You may join via your internet connection (VoIP) if you have speakers and a microphone on your computer. A headset is best to prevent feedback. Alternately, you may join by telephone by calling the number provided in your confirmation email. Read the Audio Checklist for tips on using your computer's microphone and speakers.
