Check-in at least 15 minutes prior to the event
We have allowed 30 minutes for participant check-in.  Please ensure you are seated and ready to participate in the e-learning session when the program goes ON AIR.

During the event:

• Introduce yourself to your fellow participants.
• Determine who will record notes or questions during the OFF-AIR or Question and Answer periods.
• Determine who will be the designated spokesperson to call in questions.
• Use the FAX sheets for faxed in questions and the telephone for call-in questions.

Question and Answer Period
The role of the facilitator is to assist participants with any questions or comments they may want to direct to our presenters at the studio. Check the agenda for the time of phone in questions.  Questions may be sent at any time throughout the program by FAX.  If the FAX will be used during the presentations use the FAX form available on-line.

The telephone and FAX numbers will appear on the television screen during the broadcast.

When a participant calls in with a question, please provide:

• The caller's name and
