How this On Line Course Works

Once you register (see below), you will receive an email with the course website and a password which is good for 15 days.  Once you login you can view the courses and download copies of the handouts as well as the course evaluation which needs to be completed and returned in order to receive CEUs.  Attendees also have the ability to send email messages with questions to the lecturers. 

The lectures use a program called Mediasite Live where you can see and hear the lecturer as well as a the power point presentation.  Watching a presentation using the MSL Viewer is virtually the same as being in the room with the presenter.  All lectures are available on-demand anytime during the 15 days.
