Call Preparation

  • Use headphones
  • Make sure you have space for your notebook
  • Join call 5 minutes before

During the Call

  • For all sessions, we would like you to have your video on
  • It is best to keep yourself muted when not speaking
  • Use Participant Panel icons
    • Slow down: If the content seems to be moving too fast
    • Raise hand: If you have a question
  • Use chat often. Questions should go to the full room
  • We welcome any chatter that is on the topic of the lesson

In Breakout Rooms

  • Be mindful of position/power/voice in the call
  • Everyone should share their ideas
  • Check in with everyone if you haven’t heard from people
  • Give wait time before/after you speak
    • It is easy to talk over people in remote settings, if you do, apologize and then let them finish
    • If you are struggling with your internet connection, you can say “DONE” when you are done with your thoughts so no one is confused

Breaks & Interruptions

  • If you need a break, message your instructor, turn off your video and take a break!
  • Breaks will be built in to every session
  • We know things will happen in remote settings! Use your mute setting whenever possible and if necessary, turn your video off while dealing with the situation.
  • You don’t need to apologize for dogs or background noise, just use the mute button!
