How It Works:

If the workshop you are interested in has the option of attending via videoconference, simply select the location you would like when you register.  Plan to arrive at your conference site a little early so you can get settled in before the session begins.  When you arrive, a site coordinator will explain the room set-up and procedures to you, and then you simply need to make yourself comfortable and participate in the conference! 

You will be able to see, hear, and interact with the presenter and any other sites that are participating througout the conference.  Depending on the room set-up, they will either be on separate monitors or on a split screen with one monitor.  There will be at least one camera in the room to broadcast your site to the other locations, and there may be one or several microphones to broadcast participants' voices.  In larger rooms, each participant may have his or her own microphone; smaller rooms may have only one or two in the center of the room. Please see Videoconferencing Etiquette below for information on working with microphones. 

In addition to broadcasting sound and video, the videoconferencing equipment also allows the presenter to display power point presentations, websites, and documents for all the locations to see, so you should feel almost as if you were attending the workshop in person.

Videoconferencing Etiquette

Your site coordinator will handle most of these details either before or during the videoconference, but understanding these simple guidelines will help make your videoconference session a pleasant experience for everyone.

• All participants should be introduced at the start of the conference.
• Introduce yourself when you start speaking.
• Make sure you can see and hear the remote-site participants.
• Seat yourself in view of the camera and in range of the microphone so the remote site(s) will be able to see and hear you.
• Speak in your normal voice without shouting.
• Avoid tapping on the microphone or rustling papers near the microphone.
• Mute the microphone before moving it to avoid disturbing the remote site(s).
• In a multipoint call (more than one remote site), mute your microphone when you are not speaking.
