How do I participate in a Tele Training?
A Tele Training is an interactive workshop conducted via telephone bridge
line. You do not need any special equipment to participate - just a standard
telephone and the number to call. Some bridge lines also require a pin
number. If this is the case, when you dial the number, you will be prompted
by a recorded voice to dial the pin number at the appropriate time. Then
you will be connected to the Tele Training.
How long is the Tele Training?
Most classes are one 1-2 hours. Some classes allow extra time at the end
for questions. Please check the description for the Tele Training to confirm
the length of the call.
Will others be able to hear me during the
Tele Training?
Yes, everyone on the call can hear each other. Some bridge lines have
a mute feature built into it, so sometimes the moderator can mute everyone
by placing the Tele Training in “presentation” mode. Some
bridge lines offer the ability for individual callers to mute themselves
by pressing a key on their phone. Instructions for how to use those features
are generally included in the pre-class instructions you’ll receive.
If the bridge line does not offer a mute feature, you may also mute your
own phone if you have that feature built into your telephone. This is
recommended if you have background noise that can be heard by others on
the call.
If I’m running late, can I still
participate?
That depends on the class. Some bridge lines provide a feature whereby
the moderator can “lock” the line so others cannot call in
after a certain time. If you are late, please enter the call quietly so
you don't interrupt the flow. Also, be aware that you may have missed
instructions. It's not fair to others who were on time to ask the moderator
to repeat what was already covered.
What number should I dial?
You will receive a confirmation e-mail after you register. The phone number
is provided there. Depending on which class you take, there may also be
instructions for how to prepare for the Tele Training. Be sure to read
the instructions when they arrive so you are not caught unprepared just
before the class begins.
All participants dial the same telephone number at the scheduled time and connect automatically with the rest of the group. You will be able to hear each other.
Why don’t you offer a toll free number?
Do I have to pay a long distance charge to participate?
If the call is long distance (which it is for most people), you pay for
the call because it is your way to arrive there - just as you would pay
for the gas to drive to a seminar in your home town. We do not profit
from your long distance phone call in any way. There are no hidden charges
-- only the charge from your own long distance provider. By the way, I
have to pay for my own connection, too!
If you don’t get good rates with your long distance carrier. There are many excellent calling cards and long distance plans available. Please be aware that some cellular phone plans bring an echo onto the bridge line. If this happens when you dial in on a cell phone, you may have to mute your phone for the call to keep the echo off the line, or call back in on a land line.
Can I put you on speaker phone so I don't
have to hold the phone for an hour?
Please only use your speaker phone if you can mute your phone. If you
are not able to mute your phone, using the speaker phone feature generally
allows for more background noises to be heard over the bridge line. This
can be very distracting to the moderator and to other callers. If you
have a headset, you can be hands-free and the background noises in your
environment are much less likely to be heard by others.
I notice you mention class notes. Can I
get those before the Tele Training starts?
Tele Teachings always provides extensive class handouts before the Tele
Training has started. We provide recordings AFTER the class so participants
are not flipping through paper and trying to read instead of listen. If
you learn best by taking notes, then you might want to jot some things
down during the class, even though it will probably be included in the
class notes.
If you decide to type your notes on a keyboard, some keyboards can be very noisy, be sure to press the mute key so the noise will not carry over the bridge line.
Please observe the following suggestions to enhance the Tele Training learning experience for everyone on the call.
Use a land telephone for the best phone reception for you and for others in the class. This means NO cell phones, internet phones or speaker phones. If you must call in from a cell phone, please be prepared to either mute yourself or hang up and call back on a different line if you bring an echo or static to the call.
Disable the "Call Waiting" feature on your phone. To do this on most phones, dial *70. The "Call Waiting" feature is reinstated once you hang up.
Turn off the ringer to the second line when using a multi-line phone.
Use the mute feature on your telephone if you have one. Or, use the mute feature built into the bridge line, as instructed.
Use class handouts for recording information, not tape recorders.
Recordings will be available to you within 48 hours after the end of the class. By law, you can only record a Tele Training with permission.
Verify the correct starting time of the class for your time zone. Class times are indicated in Pacific and Eastern Standard Time. Go to www.time.gov to find your own corresponding time.
Call in to the class on time so the class can start on time with minimal interruption.
If your "hold" feature on your phone plays music or other sounds while you place a call on hold, please hang up and call back when you are ready to rejoin the call. It’s very difficult to conduct a class over the music or commercials piped in from your hold feature.
Announce yourself by first name and city when asking questions during the question and answer period. Please keep your questions or observations short and to the point.
