    I reg­is­tered for the June 3rd Webi­nar but closed the page with my unique link before I entered it into Out­look. Can you for­ward it, or should I re-register?

    Gin­ger, you will receive an auto­matic reminder on Mon­day morn­ing, with the needed access infor­ma­tion. You need to ensure you see that email (some­times they go to Junk folders).

    If you have any prob­lem, email us: sup­port at sharp­brains dot com

    P-l-e-a-s-e post spe­cific instruc­tions for the Webi­nars! I signed up and received a link that sup­plied visual but no audio.
    Nowhere was I told that the audio MUST be by tele­phone. Why was there no audio avail­able online to elim­i­nate the telephone?

    Are the Webi­nar audios archived for retre­vial, please? If no audio is avail­able, per­haps a transcript?

    You offer such a won­der­ful ser­vice it is unfor­tu­nate that it has been so dif­fi­cult and incom­plete to inter­act with.

    I teach 128 stu­dents that would be delighted to join you but I will have to have bet­ter results in order to rec­om­mend their participation.

    Your reply would be greatly appreciated.

    Respect­fully,

    Robert L. Bayliss

    Hello Robert,

    I am sorry the instruc­tions weren’t clear. Webi­nars always have both a visual and a sep­a­rate audio com­po­nent (you can either call using a phone or some web-based sys­tem such as Skype).

    The webi­nar plat­form we are using has some tech­ni­cal lim­i­ta­tions that pre­vent us from doing some things we’d like to do. We are eval­u­at­ing other webi­nar sys­tems for future series.

    We don’t offer a tran­script, but do share the Pow­er­Point slides used. Will post the link shortly.

    Thank you for your inter­est! we are doing our best to con­tin­u­ally learn and improve.
