Hello, this is my first time attending a session. Will I be able to hear it through the regular computer speakers? I don't have a headset. Is there a phone # that I can call to listen to it if I have trouble hearing it on the computer? Thanks! Mika

The sound started to break up, lost sound, and completely kicked out a few times ... saying the connection lost, goes back again. Really frustrating... am I the only one? I have mac. Does it make a difference?

Eileen : Yes, Flash is needed for all online classes. Mike : What is the bandwidth you have? Mac does not make a difference - your bandwidth does. Daniella : You can ask Melissa for her ppt link on WiZiQ. It wont be possible to print but you can probably download it or request her for the same.
