PARTICIPANT EXPECTATIONS

Disease Intervention Workforce Capacity Building Skills-based Training Sessions

We are looking forward to seeing you at the upcoming disease intervention skills-based building training.

Disease intervention skills-building training will be conducted in an interactive, virtual classroom environment. The sessions are “live” or “real time” interactions, and may include instructor-led discussions, polling, group input via chat, small group interactions, and other break-out sessions. Before beginning your course, please read through the expectations, requirements, and frequently asked questions below to ensure successful completion of your course.

Equipment Requirements

Access to individual computer, equipped with a web-camera, microphone, and ZOOM video conferencing software.
Shared computers and cellular devices do not have all the functionalities necessary for participation in the interactive virtual classroom sessions.
Participants will need to ensure that they can access and navigate the zoom platform prior to the meeting. Please see the following link for assistance in setting up zoom. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362193-Joining-a-Zoom-meeting.
Participants must join the ZOOM live classroom settings from either computer audio or call-in audio.
Participants should ensure an appropriate professional background or virtual Zoom background. Sessions require video and audio participation, and sometimes virtual backgrounds can use a lot of bandwidth slowing participants internet. It may be necessary to discontinue use of a virtual background to participate in “real-time” engagement, so participants should ensure an appropriate background setting (e.g., wall as opposed to common shared area).

Training Admission Requirements

Individual Registration. All participants should complete registration prior to training attendance. The registration confirmation will be linked to an individual participant’s name and should only be used by one registrant.
Use of individual computer with functional web-camera and microphone and an appropriate professional background.
The training may involve breakout sessions in which individual learners will be moved into separate virtual rooms. This means that “group attendance through a single registration or single computer” will not support the functionality of the training experience and thus is not acceptable.
Be on time. Log in to the training 5-10 minutes prior to the start time to confirm access and admission.

Completion Certificate Requirements

Verification of individual registration, reflecting the participant’s name and organizational affiliation.
Professional virtual meeting etiquette and code of conduct: dress appropriately; ensure a quiet and clean workspace, with an appropriate professional background. Engagement in the training experience through full attention (e.g., being on camera, looking directly into the camera when using video, no multi-tasking) and active participation (e.g., contributing to group discussions and chat, engaging in role-play scenarios). Participants will be using Zoom’s interactive features and will require use of your computer’s video and audio to actively participate in group activities.
Timely and full attendance. Participants who show up later than 15 minutes past start time will not be admitted, and asked to register for another session. Participants who leave prior to the close of the session, or miss more than 15 minutes of the training, will not receive a completion certificate. If participants have any access challenges entering or during the training, they should contact the training coordinating center (who sent the registration confirmation email) and/or regional DITC training center (hosting the training).
