What to expect from your online course...
What you need...
Our online courses are very interactive and conversational. For this reason, a working webcam, a microphone and a good internet connection are essential. Please ensure your camera and mic are working before your class. If you do not have Zoom, allow yourself plenty of time before your first class to download it. Get comfortable with using Zoom: how to turn the volume up or down; how to switch between Gallery View and Speaker View; how to mute and unmute the audio and video.
How to access your online event
Click on the Zoom invitation link in your confirmation email to access the course. Every course will have its own unique invitation link, and you can use this link to access every class. On clicking the link to your event, you will be held in a virtual waiting room until your tutor admits you. Please arrive on time - no late admittance after 10 minutes from the start time of your class.
Be aware of what's behind you
Remember, your tutor and fellow participants can see what is going on around you, so situate yourself in a place that is private and where you are least likely to be disturbed.
Relax!
Take a few minutes before class to get into the moment. Make sure you have a little distance between your class and any previous activities. Try to get to the class a few minutes before the start. This ensures that your class experience is as smooth as possible.
Be ready
Have your writing materials and anything else you need on your table ready to go. If you have been provided with any handouts for the class, have them ready. Make sure you are hydrated! Have water available, but please, no alcohol or eating meals during the class. We need to be clear and focused for the work we do in our time together.
Turn off distractions
Ensure that you will not be distracted. Please do not take calls when in class. Getting the most out of your session requires commitment and concentration. Time goes very rapidly, and distractions take away from the optimum result and can be very disconcerting for other students.
Be patient and courteous
Some class members may be shy or perhaps less comfortable with technology. Please be patient. Give others time to speak. The emphasis will be on creating a safe and comfortable place for all. We have ensured that our Zoom security settings are watertight, so only booked participants are able to enter a Zoom event.
Recording
Do not record the class. One of the unique aspects of the College's online courses is that they are highly interactive. Participants are encouraged to discuss and share with the tutor and the group. These sharings can be very personal, and some may not feel comfortable with them being recorded. For this reason, we do not record our classes. There are a few exceptions, in which case you will receive links to the recordings in your Account Home page.
Get involved
What you get out of the course will depend on what you put into it. Do take part in any discussion, enjoy the exercises and assist your classmates along the way. You are on this journey together. Remember that learning remotely does not limit spirit communication or spiritual inspiration, the field of resonance is still just as accessible so it is important not to limit yourself.
Do offer feedback as you go along. Your insights are appreciated and will be useful in creating more brilliant online courses in the future. We hope you enjoy the experience!
