What is a Teleclass?

A teleclass is a learning opportunity that takes place over the phone using a telephone bridge. The bridge line allows a specified number of people from anywhere in the world to connect at the same time without requiring a conference operator. When it is time for the teleclass you dial the bridge number and enter the code which will be sent to you beforehand. Each participant will incur their routine phone charges for dialing in. Materials and call-in details will be emailed to you after you register and before the teleclass begins.

Tele-Etiquette

Disable call waiting before dialing in to the bridge. Check with your phone company for instructions on how to disable call-waiting.

Please do not use a speakerphone unless you use the mute button. Speakerphones are great although they amplify ambient sound in the room and can sometimes have poor voice quality. It is best to pick up the handset when you want to share information and put the mute button on when you're listening.

During the teleclass it is best to use your telephone's mute button, if there is one. Background noises, such as a barking dog, a radio, or papers rattling, are amplified by your phone and distract other participants. If you don't have a mute button, please call from a quiet location.

If you have a two-line phone, please turn the ringer off of the second line to advert disturbances to other teleclassmates.

When you call into a teleclass you will hear a beep when you join the call. I will usually say something like, "Hi, who joined us?" If you are late, I may not acknowledge you, however, that does not mean you are not welcome on the call. If you need to call in late, it is a good idea to listen for awhile before asking questions.

There are sharing opportunities during the teleclass so please wait for the invitation to share. It is always your choice whether or not to share. If you do choose to share, say your name and where you are from when you start to speak.

If another caller says something that you want to comment on or ask more information about, please go through me, rather than speaking to the person directly.

Please do not call the bridge before the scheduled time as another call may be in session. If you are late to the call, just dial in and be silent until you catch on to the discussion.

What is your privacy policy?
I do not share, sell, or rent information to anyone, ever. You will not receive spam as a result of enrolling in any teleclasses.
