For the North American Materials Colloquium Series at namcs.org.
- You must be an authenticated user of Zoom to join the webinar. Many universities allow you to log into Zoom through a university website (preferred method). If not, you may create an account for free: https://zoom.us/freesignup
- If your university requires attendance, the email address for your Zoom account must be a university email address (e.g., [email protected]) in order for us to report your attendance to that university. If you log into Zoom with an account that corresponds to a different email address (e.g., @gmail.com), your attendance will not be counted.
- Go to the URL (provided by your university) a few minutes before 3 p.m. ET on Thursdays (beginning September 10) or 4 p.m. ET on Fridays (beginning September 11). The webinar address is not posted on the internet. Your university will make it available to you by email or through your course management system.
- The content of the seminar is the same on Thursdays and Fridays, but the Q&A, attendees, and moderators will differ.
- Participants will be added to the webinar as an “attendee”. Participants will not be on camera, and their microphone will be muted.
- The format for the webinar is as follows:
- The webinar will begin with a live introduction of the speaker.
- Each speaker has prerecorded their talk ahead of time to limit technical difficulties. The speaker will be available to answer questions typed in the Q&A while the presentation is playing. In addition, the speaker will be available to answer questions after the presentation is finished playing.
- After the seminar is played, the moderator will read brief Q&A questions to the speaker, but attendees with more involved questions can request access to their microphone to ask a question by either raising their hand or by indicating this preference at the end of a typed question in the Q&A.
- If you have difficulty logging into Zoom through a university account, please contact the appropriate support personnel at your university.
- For administrative questions, please email Penn State Professor Suzanne Mohney at .
- For technical difficulties DURING THE EVENT ONLY, please email Trevor Schofield .
