What is a Webinar:

A webinar is a training session over the Internet. We plan on offering one webinar a month, usually on Saturday mornings (Watch our web site for details.) We plan on limiting the length of each webinar to a maximum of two hours. A maximum of 25 attendees are permitted. For those customers unable to attend a live webinar, each webinar will be recorded and made available for playback from our web site using the Windows Media Player. Remember that each webinar is limited to 25 attendees. Preference will be given to:

Attendees where there is more than one customer at the same site. That is, where two or more customers get together at someone's home or office and watch the webinar together (this counts as only one attendee).
Attendees whose software support contract is current.
If your support contract is not current, there is a $75 charge for each webinar you wish to attend, payable before the start of the webinar.

What you will need to attend a webinar:

High-speed Internet connection. Note that you do not have to have AristoCAT installed on this computer.
To hear what is being discussed and to ask questions you will need either a telephone (this will be a long distance call) or computer speakers and a microphone. The microphone you use for audio sync will work fine.

What you will find helpful (but not necessary):

One computer with the Internet connection so that you can watch what is being presented and a second computer with the AristoCAT software installed so that you can perform the same functions. If you don't have a second computer available you will still be able to switch windows between the webinar screen and your AristoCAT software.
If you are using a telephone rather than computer speakers and microphone, a hands-free telephone will give you more freedom.

Multiple Attendees at One Site:

If there are two or three attendees, it is recommended that a separate computer have the Internet connenction with speakers and microphone. The attendees can then gather around this computer and work on their computers.

If there is a large group of attendees at a site, you will need:

The computer connected to the Internet and an LCD projector attached to the computer and a screen to project the webinar on.
A speaker phone so that each attendee can hear the webinar and ask questions. Or a very good set of speakers and a microphone that can pick up all of the voices in the room.

To attend the Webinar:

If you wish to attend the webinar, send an e-mail to support@aristocat.com with the subject line of "AristoCAT Webinar Attendee" as soon as possible before the scheduled webinar.

On the day of the webinar, approximately 15 minutes before the start of the webinar, we will send you an e-mail with a link to the webinar web site. You must click on the link so that you can see my screen. Also in the e-mail will be a telephone number with an access code. If you are using a telephone, you will dial the number and enter the access code. You will then be able to hear my voice, as well as the voices of the other attendees.

You should log on at about 10 minutes before the start of the webinar and you can wait until a couple of minutes before the start of the webinar before you call in. Important Note: The webinar will start at exactly at the scheduled time. I will be available 15 minutes before the start of the webinar to answer any questions. You can log on and send a text message with your question or you can call webinar telephone number and ask any questions you may have.

CE Points

In order to meet the requirements of the NCRA and/or your state organization for CE points, we have to confirm that you were present during the entire webinar. To do this, we will ask questions during the duration of the webinar and you must be able to answer all of these questions. The questions will be easy and we will give you the answers to the questions. If yoau want the form for CE points, please e-mail us with the answers to the questions and we will e-mail you with the documentation for NCRA points, which can often also be used for state CE points. However, we can not guarantee that either the NCRA or your state will grant the CE points. There will probably be a charge by the NCRA and/or your state to get the CE points.

CE points are available if you view the recorded webinar at a later date, assuming you can answer all of the questions presented during the viewing of the webinar.
