Black Light Online: Protocols We think it is helpful to establish certain protocols in relation to how we all participate in the Black Light course. These are not intended to be unduly prescriptive but to enable sessions to run smoothly and to offer maximum opportunity for all to participate. Please note these points: 1. The host will notice your arrival in the ‘waiting room’ and will admit you once the Zoom session is open from 7.00 (the course itself starts at 7.10). 2. Unless you are unable or unwilling to be visible, please turn on your video when you join. 3. Please mute your microphone when you join and keep it on mute unless you are actually speaking, as this cuts out background noise. This is especially important with such a large group on Zoom. 4. If you have questions or comments during presentations, please write these in the chat box, which the host will be monitoring. 5. If these are requests for clarification, the host will either interrupt the presenter if necessary or more likely ask them to address these at the end of the presentation. 6. Other questions and comments will be addressed in the plenary discussion that follows the breakout groups (if these are used). 7. Presentations will not be recorded, but recordings of a previous course will be available to anyone who misses an evening for which they had registered. 8. Please be aware that any participant can save the chat conversation, so don’t write anything that you don’t want to be saved by others, and please use what you save for your own use and don’t circulate it to others. 9. In any plenary session, if you want to voice a question or make a comment, you will need to unmute yourself. 10. The chat box allows you to send messages to everyone or to specific persons so, to avoid overloading the conversation, please only send to everyone if this is necessary. ![]()
