What is a webinar?
A webinar is a presentation that is delivered over the internet.
Do I need any special equipment to participate
in a webinar?
All you need is your computer screen and keyboard and either a telephone,
speakers or a headset.
You participate in a webinar by listening to the
speaker, watching Powerpoint slides, and sending in and answering
questions. You may listen to the presenters through a telephone
headset, speakers, or a headset. You use your computer screen to
watch the Powerpoint slides and do not need to have Powerpoint installed
on your computer to see them. You use your computer keyboard to
send in and answer questions.
You may listen to the presentation by dialing
a phone number and hearing the presenters over your phone. Or, you
may put on a headset that enables you to hear sound through your
computer or turn on speakers attached to your computer. You would
join the webinar by clicking on a link that will be shared with
you when you register for the program.
How does a webinar differ from your teleseminars?
Our teleseminars have an auditory component only. You can listen
to our teleseminars through a telephone, headset, or speakers. Our
teleseminars do not include slides.
I would like to see a webinar that has
already been presented. How can I do that?
Our programs are recorded and saved for future viewing. Once you
purchase the program, you will receive a replay link that will allow
you to watch and hear the recorded program. We will also have the
programs transcribed.
What is a teleseminar?
A teleseminar is a lecture that takes place over the phone.
Our lectures are conducted as interviews between the moderator and
the guest. If you want to participate in the live program, you will
purchase the right to be part of the call and be given a phone number
and a conference ID number to use at the time of the call. A few
minutes before the teleseminar is to begin, you will call that number
and will be connected to the teleseminar. You may also listen live
over the web through a flashplayer, Windows Media or a popup player.
You will listen in on the seminar as the moderator (Pat
Iyer) interviews the guest speaker.
Will I have a chance to ask questions
of the speakers?
Yes, you will have a chance to type in questions in advance
of the program, which will be emailed to Pat Iyer. When you register
for the phone call, you will be sent a link that enables you to
send questions, and also gives you the phone number to call and
the conference code.
May I record the teleseminar?
No, the call will be recorded by the teleseminar company. A recording
of the call, in the form of a CD or MP3 file, will be available
for sale after the call.
What is an MP3 file?
This is a file that you download onto your computer and listen to
on an MP3 player or Ipod or with speakers or a headset directly
from your computer.
I would prefer to read the transcript
of the call instead of attending the live event. How can I get the
transcript?
We will have the call transcribed and send the PDF transcript
of the call once the transcript is ready. Just select the transcript
option when you place your order.
How do I read a PDF file?
Go to www.adobe.com
and download the free
Adobe Reader.
Is the transcript reviewed and edited?
Yes, it is lightly edited. Accurate transcription is verified before
it is finalized.
What happens if I pay for the live teleseminar
and miss the call because of a scheduling conflict?
Just let us know you missed the call and we will send you
either the transcript as a PDF file or the MP3 file at no additional
charge.
I can’t attend the live program
but would still like to get the information. How can I do that?
We will sell the CD and MP3 file after the call, and will
have the transcript for sale after it has been prepared.
If I can’t attend the call, what
is the estimated delivery time for the other ways the program is
available?
The MP3 file will be ready in 1 week.The transcript will
be ready in 1-2 weeks. The CD will be ready in 2 weeks.
Why does it take longer to get the CD?
We need to send the audiofile to the company that reproduces
the CDs. The company burns the CD and sends it to us for approval.
After we approve of the quality of the image and recording, orders
can be filled.
I would like to earn nursing contact hours
for the program. How do I do that?
We are able to grant nursing contact hours through an arrangement
with Taylor College. Each 1 hour teleseminar has been approved for
1 contact hour. All you have to do is print out the evaluation form
and post test, complete both documents, and mail with a check for
$15.00 to Taylor College. The provider is approved by the California
Board of Registered Nursing, provider number CEP-3285. CE credit
is accepted in all states that require mandatory continuing education
for relicensure. Call 1-800-743-4006 with CE questions. There will
be a $15 fee, paid directly to the provider, only if you need the
CE certificate.
Are the contact hours granted by Taylor
College good anywhere in the US?
Yes, they are. Any specific questions related to contact
hours should be directed to Norman Heavens at Taylor College, 1-800-743-4006.
If I don’t want contact hours, where
to I send the program evaluation form?
The evaluation form should be sent to Pat Iyer at 260 Route
202-31, Suite 200, Flemington, NJ 08822. We encourage you to give
us feedback.
Do you offer teleseminars that have been
approved for CLE for attorneys?
No, not at this time.
