Webinar Technical Information

1. Visit the Webinar Calendar to view our webinars for the month.

2. Click “Register” next the webinar you would like to attend.

3. A registration form will open in a new tab, asking for some basic information. Ensure you accurately type your e-mail address, as this is how you will receive the log-in link for the webinar.

4. GoToWebinar will send you an e-mail with an attendee link for the webinar, along with technical information. If you do not see this e-mail, make sure to check the Junk folder. If the e-mail from GoToWebinar is not in your Junk folder, contact us at wcwebinars@waldenu.edu.

5. If you are not in the Central Standard Time (CST) zone, check when the webinar will occur in your time zone by clicking "Show in my Time Zone" at the top of the registration page or by visiting this website.

6. You can also add this webinar to your Outlook calendar by clicking "Add to your Outlook Calendar."

7. You will receive reminder e-mails about the webinar a day before the webinar, which will also include your attendee link.

1. At the day and time of the webinar, click your attendee link via the e-mail GoToWebinar sent you.

2. If this is your first webinar, GoToWebinar will automatically download to your computer, so allow a few extra minutes for this software to be loaded on your computer before the webinar start time. Note that because our webinars use both audio and screen sharing, you will need a strong Internet connection. If you have trouble with your Internet connection, consider connecting to the audio via the phone number GoToWebinar provides.

3. The Writing Center opens the webinar about 15 minutes before the session's start time. Until the webinar is opened, you may receive a message that GoToWebinar is "Waiting for the Organizer."

4. Once the Writing Center opens the webinar, you will be taken to a waiting room until the presenter begins the session. Note that all attendees are automatically muted for each webinar to avoid distractions.

5. If you need closed captioning for the webinar, look for a link in the Question box; click this link to access the captioning.

6. Writing Center staff will be available to answer your questions during the webinar; send these via the Questions box. Pay attention to the Questions box throughout the webinar, as Writing Center staff often send pertinent links and information to students via this box throughout the webinar.

7. Any materials the presenter will be using for the webinar will be posed in the webinar calendar. You can download these before the webinar to aid you in taking notes throughout the session.

8. Each webinar is recorded, so the recording of the webinar, any PowerPoint slides the presenter used, and a transcript (when available) will be posted in the webinar archive (located under the webinar calendar) the next day.

All of our webinars are recorded and posted with the webinar's abstract, PowerPoint slides, and relevant handouts in our webinar archive.
