Terms and Conditions
-
The participants will be “muted” for voice hearing during the presentations but will be able to provide questions via the “chat” mechanism on the online meeting software.
-
Public participants’ questions will be addressed during the “public comment periods” per schedule or get answered via email.
-
The participants will be able to create a discussion and ask questions during a “discussion period” as mentioned in the schedule.
-
Do not close your session or logout during the seminar, you may leave any time in between but your re-login may not be connected as it may interrupt the system. You can log-out after the event finishes.
-
You may not ask personal questions or non-subject related questions during the event.
-
Show up on time. You may not disrupt the presentation by logging late, but you may miss important information. “- Arriving on time prevents you from wasting additional time contacting the presenter after the fact to find out what you missed,”
-
Turning on your webcam during the presentation is desirable.
-
Wait for your turn in a live setting, so you can see who has a question? or when a presenter is ready for an interruption?. You may need to rely on cues such as hand-raising icons or questions posted in chats.
-
Ask questions concisely. Webinars are focused; be sure your questions are, too and not duplicated. Avoid wasting time in lengthy introductions, and don't self-promote or spend a lot of time sharing your opinion before asking a question. If you have comments, ask yourself if they will help others before commenting.
-
Don't use the chat room as your personal water cooler. Just like you would not stand in the back of the room gossiping with someone while a presenter was lecturing, refrain from using the chat room just to socialize.
-
Any Cyber bullying, spamming, demeaning or any action of abuse of respected participants or speaker will not be tolerated and will be subject for cancelation of attendance.
