Webcast Terminology
Welcome to the re-broadcast of
the Academy’s 20th Annual Conference Webcast. By
carefully following these instructions, you will make this
a most enjoyable and positive learning experience.
First, let’s get acquainted with some of the basic webcast
vocab. DigitalChalk (AGI’s Webcast provider) uses some
lingo that may be unfamiliar to you, so we have included
some helpful definitions.
WEBCAST
– an educational
program presented over the internet that usually includes a
streaming audio/video presentation as well as accompanying
slides, which advance along with the presentation.
COURSES –
The original
WEBCAST has
been divided into eight separate 3 – 3.5 hours
COURSES.
Each course consists of separate
LESSONS.
Completion of ALL of the
LESSONS within a
COURSE allows the user to print out
either a Certificate of Attendance or if taken for credit,
a C.E. Certificate of Completion for that course.
LESSONS
– The individual
presentations by each of the different faculty members are
called
LESSONS. If taken for C.E.
credit,
each lesson is followed by two multiple-choice assessments.
The first is a five question true/false quiz to ensure that
the participant actually watched the presentation, and the
second is a Course Evaluation survey. BOTH assessments must be completed
for every
lesson in order to
obtain credit for the course.
Now lets get you started with the Webcast!
Step
1) Register As an AGI Student
To enroll in the webcast’s
courses, you must first register with AGI’s webcast
provider, DigitalChalk. You can do this by clicking the
link on the same page where you downloaded these
instructions, or by entering the following link:
http://acadgi.digitalchalk.com
Step
2) Create a New Account
When complete, a window will appear saying that you have successfully created your account. Congratulations and welcome as an AGI Webcast Student.
Click the “continue” button
Now, login with your email and password.
Step 3) Selecting the Courses You Want to View
Clicking on the Registration tab at the top of the page will bring you to the course list. This page consists of Course Titles on the left, and a Description of the selected title on the right.
You can cycle through the
Pages to see all of the available
courses to select and the courses you are interested in.
You may have noticed that each of the eight courses
(the
Introduction to IGI along with
Parts 1-7 of
the Webcast) are listed twice. This is to give you the
option to take each course for C.E. Credit, or just for
your own enlightenment.
The Credit and Non-Credit courses are identical, except the
Credit courses include a 5 question true/false quiz, and a
course evaluation survey following each lesson (as well as
costing $10 more to help offset the costs of maintaining
our CE sponsors).
Step
4) Purchasing the Courses
Note that the course that you added now shows up on your “shopping list” on the bottom left side of the page.
You can select and add more courses to your shopping list or, when you’re ready, you can click on the “checkout” button on the lower left corner to pay for and view your courses.
Step 5) Pay Tuition Fees
After clicking “Check Out”, you’ll have a chance to review and approve your “Shopping List” and then click “Continue,” (or “Cancel” in order to start again). Enter your billing address and credit card information and you should then get a “Thank You” window when all have been processed and accepted.
Step 6) View Your Courses
Now click the “My Courses” tab at the top of the page to view the courses you have purchased. Select the first course you wish to attend online, and click on the first lesson (typically underlined) to begin.
When the lesson loads, click on “Start Chalkboard”. Now sit back for a few moments while the presenter’s slides (“Images”) are being loaded into the program. This can take several minutes, depending upon your internet access speed. Watch the “Images loading…..” countdown to get an idea of the time required.
Click the “Click to Begin” button to begin.
Enjoy the presentation!
Step 7) Navigating the Presentation
When the presentation begins, you will see a video of the presenter in the upper left window, and a window containing their slides on the right.
The window on the lower left of the page is a navigation window. As you progress through the presentation, you’ll occasional pass through different “chapters”, whose names will appear as you pass through them. By clicking on the chapter titles, you can return to prior portions of the presentation that you’d like to review.
At the bottom of the page are the following controls:
(Note: You can navigate
forward or backward to any point in
the presentation once you have watched it at normal speed.)
Step
8) Printing Your CE Certificate
If you are enrolled for CE credit, you must complete the CE
Assessment (and answer at least 3 out of 5 of the
true/false questions correctly) and fill out the Course
Evaluation Survey at the end of every lesson.
After you have completed all of the lessons and surveys,
click on the “My Grades” tab at the top of the window. Now,
click on the "Print Certificate" link to print a
Certificate of Completion (with full CE information).
If you are not enrolled for CE credit, then you do not have
to complete any of the assessments following the
presentations. After you have viewed all of the lessons in
a given course, however, you can click on the “My Grades”
tab at the top. The next window will show you the courses
you have taken, and will allow you to print a Certificate
of Attendance (without any CE information).
