NALS Online Learning Center (OLC) Dates
To view the schedule for upcoming OLC sessions, please click here. All sessions begin at 8:00 p.m. Central
INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCESS WEBINARS: To register for a NALS Webinar, simply go to the NALS website and under “Learn” (tab with drop down choices at top of NALS web page), click on “WebEd.” This will take you to the screen to register for the webinar you wish to attend. There are “how to” directions on this page and descriptions of the webinars offered. You just need to scroll down and click on the registration link (the title of the webinar) and it will take you through the registration process. The webinar registration is a two-fold process. The initial registration lets you select the webinars you are interested in attending and submitting your payment information. When that information is processed, participants are sent a WebEd invitation that will complete the registration. When you have completed this second “invitation,” a subsequent e-mail is sent to the participants, which contains access information to the webinars. NOTE: You can access any webinar through both the Internet and the audio connection (with any telephone) OR you can simply access the webinar presentation (without viewing the PowerPoint presentation) by simply calling and connecting to the audio portion of the presentation. You can do this from any telephone anywhere! But you still need to register for the webinar (even if you will only be listening to the audio portion of the program).
INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCESS OLC/OLSG: Members must first login as a Member and enter your login name and password. If you have not registered as a member just go to the “Welcome” tab at the top of the NALS web page (it’s a drop down tab with “Member Log In” – click there). There are complete instructions to login as a member or to register as a member to access all the membership services. After you login as a member you will see a page with member accessed information (on the left-side of the screen). Simply scroll down to Online Learning Center, click and you have now entered the OLC properly! The OLC page comes up with instructions, but you can simply scroll down and type in a "User Name" (user name does not have to match your Internet user name) and click "Connect," which will take you to the "Lobby." Click on the tab/icon at the top, right-hand side of OLC screen (it has what looks like a comment box on the tab), and then double click on "OnlineLearningCenter" and, voila, you're there! You can increase the size of the screen by clicking on the four arrows button (second button from the right at the bottom). You can increase the size of your font by clicking on "Options" (upper left, second button from left) then "Font Size." You can change the color of your responses by clicking on the colors button (third button at from the left at the bottom). Yes, we do have emotions and sounds which can be entered, but, particularly the sounds, can be distracting and our intention is to get you in, discuss the topic, and let you go within the allotted time. Also, you must participate every three to four minutes or you will be "bumped" out.
