Is this seminar all online?

Yes, the entire seminar is online using Cisco WebEx Training Center.

We’ve found that there is greater participation in our seminars now because of the privacy that participants have in asking questions and submitting answers directly to Professor Garner. They use a private chat box that only goes to the professor, so they feel safer sending things in to him without concerns about others in the seminar seeing the submissions.

This new “safe space” has opened up the dialogue around language usage, insecurities, and even what some would consider “stupid questions.” Whether you believe there are such things as stupid questions, it’s still nice to have some place safe to ask them. And Professor Garner doesn’t take this privilege lightly. He appreciates the enthusiasm as participants open up and chime in during the seminar.

You’ll receive the sign-in details in the seminar-info email thirteen business days before the seminar.

We’ll also send out a seminar-reminder email at 7:00 a.m. CT on the seminar day with login details to make it easy for you. And it’ll be near the top of your inbox to make it easy to find.

Cisco WebEx Training Center
