Some classes have a large number of participating sites. Therefore, there may be a delay in answering the call. Be patient, your call will be answered in the order in which it was received. All connections will be made as soon as possible. Sites must remain on-line for the entire class.
Premature disconnection disrupts the class.
Dropped connections should be reconnected or the production staff should be notified. The faculty member is given a report for each class session regarding which sites connected for how long and, if a site disconnects, whether it was for technical or unknown reasons. The use of improper equipment, including speakerphones or other improper instruments which introduce noise into the classroom, is cause for involuntary disconnection. This may negatively affect the grade of students. The requirement is to maintain an open line and closed microphones that do not introduce noise into the classroom.
