Presentation Slide Area
Moderator:
There are 4 areas that I would like to call to your attention:
The first is the presentation slide area, it’s where the main content for the webinar will appear and it will be the main focus of your attention throughout the webinar.
The second is the attendee list, it’s located on the top left of your screen and it displays a list of all attendees to this webinar.
The third 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 attending with a group will want to designate a “scribe” to represent your group by entering questions as they occur ANYTIME throughout the session. Your questions are automatically transmitted to the presenters and will be answered during dedicated question and answer periods.
The fourth is the “Meeting” menu located at the top left of your monitor. Once you click the “Meeting” menu, you will be presented with a few options to choose from. The only option I want to point out to you is the “Full Screen” option. If you feel the size of the room is too small or if it is difficult for you to read the text, I suggest you switch to Full Screen mode. Depending on the size of your monitor, this will increase the size of the webinar room so that images will appear larger.
