New in 2010: Educational programs powered by GoToWebinar

A new year means new ways to learn and more support if you encounter a technical issue during one of our online educational programs ("webinars"). Plus, with GoToWebinar, our new web-based meeting service, it's easier than ever to learn online.

Here's how it works:

• Purchase the webinar of your choice using the instructions listed on our Webinar Catalog web page.
• Make sure you have a telephone line and a computer with an Internet connection. (See list of system requirements at the bottom of this web page.)
• Approximately two business days before the live webinar, you will receive and e-mail message from Joyce Kaping (Joyce.Kaping@wismed.org). This message will contain two important pieces of information: 1) a secure code that lets you access the webinar handout materials through our website, and 2) a link for you to register for the webinar through GoToWebinar.
• After completing the registration process, you will receive an e-mail from GoToWebinar that contains login information for the webinar you've selected. This will include a PIN that allows you to hear the audio portion of the presentation.
• A few minutes before the program is scheduled to start, click the link in the e-mail from GoToWebinar. Enter your audio PIN on your telephone keypad and wait for the presenters introduce themselves. Once the presenters have logged on, presentation materials will appear on your computer screen.
• Listen to the presentation and follow along online.
• If you have a question during the program, raise your hand electronically or send a message to the presenters.
• If you encounter a technical issue during the presentation, contact GoToWebinar's Customer Care team at 800.263.6317 or gotomeetingcare@citrixonline.com. Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week!
• Approximately three business days after the webinar has finished, you will receive an e-mail that contains a code and a link for accessing our Webinar Archive. Click on the link and enter the code to watch the presentation one more time. Archived webinars are available for 90 days following their original air date.
