Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Log In Instructions:

Please note that the presentation will contain both audio and visual components.

You will be able to hear Dr. Willenbring’s presentation and follow his Powerpoint slides in real time from your computer. You will also be able to ask questions via a dialog box that will appear on the screen.

This combination will require two separate, but common, connections:

1) an internet connection to view the slide presentation

2) an active telephone line to access the audio (speakerphone is recommended)

We decided to use a phone connection for the audio, rather than a webcam, to achieve better uninterrupted sound quality.

The conference will be approximately 1 hour long, depending upon the number of questions we receive.
