Additional Online Class Information
Online training classes for PastPerfect are taught by an experienced PastPe
rfect trainer via the Internet, using a webinar product and one of two audi
o options. These classes are limited to participants who have access to DSL
or faster internet connections. You will have access to the PastPerfect tr
ainer, just as you would if you were in a real classroom.
Participants now have a choice for the audio portion of the class: conferen
ce call or listening online (VOIP). Participants using the conference call
option will be able to ask questions and communicate verbally with the trai
ner and other conference call participants. For the best interaction with t
he trainer, we suggest participants who choose the conference call option u
se a regular telephone line. Speakerphones are discouraged for conference c
all participants unless they can be muted on the listener's end to limit ba
ckground noise distractions. The conference call may be a long distance cal
l for participants.
While we strongly suggest that users use the telephone option, we understan
d that for some organizations, calling long distance may not be possible. P
astPerfect training now allows participants to listen to the trainer via th
eir computers over the internet (VOIP) instead of using a telephone. Partic
ipants using this option will not be able to communicate verbally with othe
r participants or the trainer, but may ask questions during the class using
a chat function.
For the best PastPerfect training experience, whether online or on the conf
erence call, we recommend using a headset for listening to the class.
