New to Telecourses?
Welcome. This should help.- At class time, call the number above. No one is 'there' at that number except during the scheduled class time.
- Call from a regular, wired phone. No cell phones, no speaker phones and no cordless phones. (These add LOTS of noise to the call and are annoying for everyone.)
- Put the barking dogs, spouses, kids, partners in another room. No washing dishes, dryers, washing machines.
- If you have call–waiting, please disable it first by dialing *70 and waiting for the dial tone. This only disables call waiting for that call, once you hang up and make another call it will be active again.
- When you call in, the instructor will hear a beep so she/he knows when someone has joined the call but no one will know that it's you. When you hear the instructor say "Hi, who just joined the call?" please respond, "Hi, everyone, this is Mary from Chicago" or wherever.
- You may call in late, but please don't speak, except when invited to introduce yourself (see #5 above). Listen quietly and come up to speed into the flow of the discussion.
- Teleclass may be discussion–based, meaning that the instructor starts off with key points and invites everyone to contribute something. If you prefer to sit back and listen, that's fine too. The format is like a discussion in a class room or a living room, except that it's on the phone. There will be between 5 and 12 people in your teleclass.
- When the class is over, feel free to say goodbye to everyone before hanging up.
ADD Resources saves on long distance by using One Suite (www.onesuite.com) with a rate of 2.5 cents a minute. You charge a certain amount of money in advance on your credit card, and then it is deducted as you use up the minutes. It is a simple system to use. You dial an access number (which we put into the phone's memory) and then the long distance telephone number you wish to call. If you are looking for a long distance carrier, you might want to explore a One Suite account. Both you and ADD Resources will receive 20 free minutes if you say "addresources1" referred you. Thank you.
