We look forward to welcoming you to the live webinar soon.

We use Adobe Connect and it’s a great idea to test your connection before attending. Just click here to check your computer is all ready to go.

It’s all about you

All of our webinars are designed and delivered assuming that you are one person, at one computer – not sharing computers or audio.

Why? This allows you to focus on your own learning, thoughts and involvement in the learning discussion. If you green tick for yes, then we know it’s you and you don’t have to consult a whole group! If you are typing something, it’s your thoughts and you aren’t missing out on sharing or asking something.

Audio

Listen to the Lightbulb Moment webinars with a headset and mic over VOIP

To be able to listen in our virtual classroom, we use VoIP (Voice over IP) which means the sound goes through the computer. We don’t use telephones at all and there is no dial in number available.

This means you’ll be listening through your computer headset or speakers. Please make sure you won’t disturb your colleagues and you have a headset ready to go.

Webinars usually have a fair few attendees and we don’t usually open up audio for participants to speak verbally.

Checking your computer audio

Sometimes there can be setup challenges with audio. Your computer should automatically detect your headset and use it. However sometimes we need to help it along a bit.

If you don’t know how to do this, google “playback devices” and “recording devices” along with your operating system and version, for example “windows 10”. That should give you instructions on how to manually set up your headset if you need to.

If you are on a Mac using Safari, this info is for you!
