E-Rules
This section will provide a set of rules and guidelines to follow to optimize your participation in the session.
Online sessions are a little bit different from in-person trainings since you are unable to see and interact to each other. Therefore, it is important that ALL participants pay close attention to the following rules in order to have a great discussion and conversation.
1) ALWAYS mute your microphone when the facilitator or other participants are talking in order to optimize sound quality. You can un-mute your mic when you are ready to speak by clicking on
the following button
2) Use the CHAT BOX on the left of the screen to flag to the moderator if you need to speak or have a question.
- If you need to raise your hand, type ^ (shift+6) to indicate to the moderator that you have something to say. Do not un-mute your mic until the moderator has called on you via chat to speak.
- If you agree with something somebody is saying, type + (positive sign) in the chat box to denote that
- If you disagree then type – (negative sign).
3) You can view all participants attending the session in the participant box on the upper left hand corner of the e-classroom. As shown below:
4) The white board is only for the facilitator of the session to use.
5) You can ask your questions via chat or voice depending on your connection and comfort.
6) There is an option to use video in this classroom but in order to make sure that the connection is not disrupted and is equally accessible to all participants, please do not turn your cameras on.
