UPDATE: Due to the Corona virus, we’ve decided to present the classes by video conference using Zoom videoconferencing (http://zoom.us ) If you didn’t have the time to attend in person, now is your chance. Email me at midlandsve@gmail.com. I’ll forward your email to your instructor and they will send you an invitation to the video conference.
If you’ve never used videoconferencing before, Here’s a couple of tips:
- Use a headset or headphones. Any headphones that plug into your computer will do. Even the wired ones that came with your cell phone, if it’s using the ¼” plug. This eliminates feedback when you un mute your microphone.
- Mute your microphone when not speaking to the instructor. Otherwise the class will hear any background noise from your computer.
- Find the text/ chat function and use it.
