This will be a live session conducted as a network conference via Adobe Connect. To attend this conference, you need only a web browser with an up-to-date Flash plugin.
I will be using audio, so you should make sure you are someplace where you can listen without disturbing others (or use headphones).
If you want to fully participate in a conference (i.e., supply your own audio or show content from your screen, you will need a free plug-in for your Flash plug-in. (Available for Windows and Mac PCs only - no Linux version as yet) The simplest way to get this is to use the Help link on this page. It should run a brief test of your browser and your connection speed, then offer to install the plugin. You can do this any time in advance of the orientation session.
