Reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998: Listening Session for Disability Stakeholders October 1, 2009 2:00 - 5:00PM (EST)

Webinar Platform: Participant View Captioning Window Presentation Slide Area Chat Room WELCOME SLIDE Gary Gonzalez: There are 5 areas that I would like to call to your attention: The first is the Presentation Slide area; it’s where the main visual content for the webinar will appear and it will be the main focus of your attention throughout the webinar. The second is the Captioning Window to the top left of your screen. This is where live captioned text will appear throughout today’s listening session. The third area is the Chat Room, also at the left of the screen, directly below the attendee list, it allows you to ask questions, or make comments during the webinar. We are using a ONE-WAY conference call for the audio portion of this webinar—you can hear the presenters, but they cannot hear you. Due to the large number of attendees, and to control background noise and interruptions, we’re going to rely on this CHAT feature to solicit your questions throughout the session. Those of you attending with a group will want to designate a “scribe” to represent your group by entering questions as they occur ANY TIME throughout the session. Your questions are automatically transmitted to the presenters and will be answered during dedicated question and answer periods. The fourth area is the Status Options Toolbar located at the bottom left of your monitor. Once you click the drop-down arrow, you’ll be presented with a few options to choose from so that you can give the speakers real-time feedback in a shorthand way. The fifth area is the Full Screen option. If you select the Full Screen option, the PPT will enlarge. If any images or text appear too small, please select the Full Screen option, but please keep in mind that you won’t be able to use the Chat to submit any questions unless you deselect the Full Screen option when you are in Full Screen mode. IF POLLING WILL BE CONDUCTED, INFORM USERS THE POLLING WINDOWS WILL NOT APPEAR IF THE USER IS IN FULL SCREEN MODE. IF SCREEN SHARING WILL BE CONDUCTED, INFORM USERS THAT WHAT IS BEING BROADCAST WILL NOT APPEAR IF THE USER IS IN FULL SCREEN MODE. (Click to next slide) Full Screen Status Options

Submitting Questions To submit a question or comment, type the question in the text field and click the arrow button. Please enter the name to whom the question is directed. Your name, the text “Submitted Question,” and your question will appear in red on your screen, indicating successful submission. Questions are directly transmitted to presenters—no other participants will see your questions. Text Field CLOSED CHAT SLIDE Gary Gonzalez: To submit a question using the Chat feature, type the question in the text box and click the arrow button to submit. When you submit a question, your name, the text “Submitted Question,” and your question will appear in red on your screen, indicating successful submission. Note that questions are directly transmitted to presenters—no other participants will see your questions. Again, please be sure to enter your questions at ANY TIME throughout our session. We’ll make time to answer as many of them as possible during the session. (Click to next slide) Gary, where can I find today’s PPT? Arrow Button
