How do I participate in a webinar?

Webinars are seminars that are given over the internet. To participate all you need is a computer with a built in microphone and an internet connection.  At a minimum, you need a 56K modem but the webinar is best viewed through a high speed internet connection. Partcipants will be able to login to the webinar a half an hour before it is scheduled to begin. Once the webinar starts, you will be able to view the desktop of the presentator and listen to the presentation.

Access info After your registration has been completed, you will be sent your webinar login information and any additional details you might need as well as access instructions for the webinar resources.The email will also include a short questionnaire to help us focus the presentation to suit your specific needs. You’ll receive this email no later than the Friday before the webinar.


All you need is a connection to the internetAll you need to participate in the webinars is a computer connected to the internet. In the case of technical difficulties (as sometimes happens but not often), registrants will invited to participate in a future webinar.

 

We use the award winning Go To Meeting software for our webinars. The software is simple, safe and effective. The best part is that the webinar technology saves time and is good for the planet because neither the presentor or the participants need to travel to attend the seminar. If it suits your fancy, you can check out the software before the webinar at www.gotomeeting.com.
