Connecting/Attending to this class – How is this going to work?
This classes will be presented online via the Zoom teleconferencing platform, which can be downloaded ahead of time at https://zoom.us/download.
You will receive an e-mail from us the day before the session begins with three links to the event and a password (there is one link per track). We ask that you do NOT share these links. This will minimize any zoom hacking and will provide an overall better experience to our registered participants. If you do not already have Zoom installed, you will be given the option to install automatically after clicking the link. Please give yourself time to download and familiarize yourself with the program ahead of time.
You will not need a microphone or webcam to participate. Each participant will be automatically muted upon entry. Two facilitators will be available in each meeting room to help answer any questions that may arise.
