TELECONFERENCE TIPS

Here's how LIVE teleclasses work:



Sign up for a teleclass. You will be provided a phone number and access code to join the call upon confirmation. At class time, call the number above. Only call that number at class time, not more than a minute before class or after the class ends. No one is 'there' at that number except during the scheduled class time.



You will be billed long distance charges by your long distance carrier for the time you are on the phone.



Please call from a regular, wired phone. No cell phones, no speakerphones (unless you use mute) and no cordless phones unless you stay very close to the phone's base. These add LOTS of noise to the call and annoys everyone.



When you call in, please announce yourself. Feel free to say "Hi, this is Mary from Chicago." Inform FLI if you would like to use another name if you would like to stay anonymous. We record all teleclasses for future use. Your attendance on the call says you agree to be recorded for any future use.



You may call in late, but please don't speak when coming in because you will interrupt the call. Listen quietly and come up to speed into the flow of the discussion.



Our teleclasses are discussion-based, meaning that we will start off with key points and invite you to ask questions. If you prefer to sit back and listen, that's fine too. The format is like a discussion in a class room or a living room, except that it's on the phone.



When the class is over, feel free to say goodbye to everyone or just hang up. Please don't stay on the line after the call is over as our telephone conferencing system needs to reset itself.



If we record the class it will be available via CD-Rom or audio stream. This can be emailed to you or will be posted on our website. You will need a media player on your computer to listen to the audio stream.
