How will this webinar work?

It will be held via Google Hangouts.

A reminder will be emailed to you automatically by eventbrite once you book your place, and then again 48 hours prior, 2 hours prior, and when the event starts. In those emails, when you click the 'View now' button, you will be prompted to log into your eventbrite account. Some of you might not have an account, so you can create a new one easily at this point. We recommend getting this task out of the way as soon as you book your ticket, so that you don't have to rush to do it before the training commences.

When in the video call, you will be able to hear the trainer speak and view their computer screen. We ask that for the duration of the webinar, you keep your mic off until the Q&A at the end as it can cause sound/feedback issues.

There is no one to one session after this training event.

-----------------------------

This is a one-off webinar intended to help schools prepare for gathering and generating Student Options. While we do cover options in our VSware Timetable Training Day 1 course, it is often the case that the person tasked with managing options in a school is not the person that is creating the timetable and therefore does not need to attend a full timetabling course. Our recommendation is to generate student options as early as possible, so this course which will happen on January 29th will allow you to get a head start.

There will likely be a large group attending this session so we will not be holding one to one sessions, however we will have a 20 minute Q&A at the end of the webinar.
