Public Health Nursing Educational Webinar Guide

Summer 2015

You will need a computer with internet connection, speakers (or headphones) or access to a phone.

To ensure the technology will work properly, please run the Adobe Connect System Test on your computer before the first webinar. This test should take about 30 seconds to run. After the first webinar, that computer will be all set for future webinars. If you run into any problems, please let us know as soon as possible.

Connecting to the live Webinar

·  To join the webinar, you can go directly to this link: http://bumedical.adobeconnect.com/maphn_workforce_development/

·  Once the login page opens, enter as a guest and type in your first and last name. No username or password is needed to join the webinar; if it asks you for this information, you have done it incorrectly, please try again.

·  Click on the Listen Only box on the lower right side of the gray box that will pop up (note – you MUST have speakers or headphones attached to your computer)

·  If you do not have speakers choose “Dial out” and have the system call you (this option is for direct lines only). Type in your phone number with area code.

·  If you do not have a direct line, then you will select the second option to “Dial in.”

Dial in: (866) 715-6499 Participant Passcode: 3606287157 Then press *29 and the unique 4 digit code that appears in the audio connect box. This will match you name and phone number in the adobe system.

·  NEVER place your phone on HOLD; as your organization’s hold music will be heard by everyone on the webinar.

Collecting demographic Information

So that we can better track who is participating in our program and to be able to offer 1.2 nursing contact hours, we need to collect some information about you. When you have logged into the meeting there will appear a window labeled “Info About You”.

·  Place your cursor in the field in the lower part of this window and on one line please type in

·  First and last name, occupation, city and state, email address and hit Enter.

·  This “Info About You “ window will be open for 30 minutes before the webinar begins, and 15 minutes after it ends, BUT NOT DURING THE WEBINAR ITSELF
