• Log in from your computer.
• Greet your instructor and classmates who will be logged on from their computers.
• Discuss and debate course material in real time from your desktop.
• Use a variety of interactive tools including chat, polls, and webcams.

Please allow several minutes after registration to receive the connection information for the webinar software, GoToWebinar. If you do not receive connection information, please check your spam and junk folders. Please contact us at sync@appraisalinstitute.org or 312-335-4473.

If the presentations are made available by the speakers (which they usually are by the morning of the webinar), you will receive an email reminder with a link to download them when you register. If the download link is blocked by your workplace or Internet provider, you can try clearing your browser cache. If this does not work, please e-mail sync@appraisalinstitute.org and we can email them to you.

There are two options for audio:

1. Telephone: If you want to use the phone (long distance charges may apply), select Telephone under the Audio tab in the Control Panel, then enter the Access code shown, and then enter the PIN number shown. If the phone is not connecting, you can click the "Need Audio Help" link in the same tab and an alternate phone number is available.
2. Computer Audio: Select Mic & Speakers under the Audio tab in the Control Panel. Click "Audio Settings" to test the audio on your computer. Because the quality of computer audio depends on the quality of your Internet connection, you will want to close any other applications that update frequently using the Internet (email, chat), plus stop any streaming audio/video. If the quality of computer audio is unacceptable, we suggest you switch to the Telephone option and dial the number and access code.
3. If you still cannot hear after trying both options, please log out and log back in again.

Please log off and log back in using the same connection information.
