A "remote class session" refers to a class in a remote location linked to a live (not recorded) presentation via the Internet, and includes the ability to communicate with the presenter. Attendance is confirmed and CE is issued, just as for attendance at the live event.

Remote sessions are set up by special arrangement between OATC and remote attendees. There is a ceiling on the number sites that the broadcast package supports, therefore the candidate sites must be pre-arranged with Cathy Johnson at (541)569-2272 or cathy@silvercreekteam.com .

Requirements and Constraints:

• The remote sites have to be tested prior to the class to ensure that the process works.
• Separate sign-in sheets have to be managed by one person at each site.
• Remote attendees will not be sent hard-copy handouts, but will be sent links to class materials which they will need to download print prior to the class.  These handouts can then be printed or read on the attendees' computers or electronic devices. 
• Remote attendees pay the full registration fee, even if it includes pre-printed handouts and meals. There are many hidden costs in time  and money to provide the remote broadcast:  equipment, testing time, administration time in overseeing and technical services. We hope the remote attendee will realize overall savings in travel time and hotel costs.   
• Remote sites will need a computer and  high-speed internet access.
• Remote sites with multiple attendees need to have a screen large enough for attendees to see. This may be accomplished by connecting a computer to a large monitor or television, or through a projector onto a screen. A sign-in sheet will be provided to the coordinator for those sites to confirm attendance.
• Approved remote sites with only one person would not need the large screen, but instead would need a webcam so that their attendance can be monitored/confirmed by Cathy.  
  
  We are thrilled to provide more education on a broader base through remote broadcast.
