I would suggest that it might be a good idea to remind those headset users ahead of time that with many computers, you need to go into your computer settings and ensure that the headset is set to be the input device. Sometimes people think you can just plug it in, but in many cases, that doesn’t work. So they end up wearing the headset, but it’s the built-in webcam that is actually picking up sound. That’s a key variable in terms of audio quality.

The midweek discussion group will use GoToMeeting or GoToWebinar (depending on the size of the group), and will be recorded for any Plus registrants unable to attend live. However, this recording will not be available for later purchase—only those who register for the Plus option during the initial offering will receive the recording of the extra session. Because it will be recorded, only those with headset microphones will be able to openly speak to the instructor, so that we can maintain high audio quality. All others can use the text chat box. The chat log will also be saved and distributed to Plus registrants.

Is the midweek discussion group audio or text? In other words, are the participants using headsets/voice/video or text chat to communicate? Will people who aren’t able to attend that event live be able to read/view it later?
