Please test your equipment and internet connection in advance so you do not delay everyone else while you figure out how to make things work. If you cannot get your camera, microphone, speakers to work a reasonable time you will be excused and asked to reschedule for a different class date.

Make sure you are in a distraction-free place. No T.V’s, radios, gaming, or other activities in the area. If your environment is distracting the Instructor may ask you to leave the online class.

  • Adjust your video camera so the Instructor can clearly see you.
  • Try not to be back-lit (bright light or window behind you) as that makes it hard to see you.

  • During breaks you can close the video & audio, but it’s best to stay online.
  • If you need to take care of something urgent during the class, let the Instructor know so it can be dealt with appropriately.
