or for Individuals at their own computers.
Because the session occurs in “real time,” live sessions allow participants to interact with the presenter, posing questions and influencing the delivery of instruction.

Test Run of Computer Access It is best to schedule an advance testing using the online workshop conferencing software and the various audio techniques and network connection types to ensure everything will work for all participants.
Onsite Moderator When the online workshops are conducted for groups gathered together in one space, one individual should serve as the moderator who be the chief communicator of questions and onsite issues, and who will supervise the participants' activities.
