Basic Seminar Rules Stay on Topic If we seem to be getting off track or too much is going on at once, then I will ask everyone to HOLD UP. That is your cue to stop typing so that we can refocus. If you lose audio (you can no longer hear me) wait for 1 or 2 minutes. Sometimes the server cuts me off and I need to log on a second time. If for some reason we get cut off for a longer period (5 minutes or more) then please go to “CHAT” on the course page where we will finish the seminar

Basic Seminar Rules (Cont’d) All seminars are recorded so that you can read and listen to the transcripts at another time. Remember your netiquette- respect everyone! You should prepare for live seminar ahead of time, by clicking on the seminar link under the unit.
