As we utilize MS Teams for our online training sessions, there are several key considerations to ensure a smooth and effective learning experience
π Stable Internet Connection
A strong bandwidth ensures seamless video streaming and active participation in your classes, minimizing disruptions and enhancing your engagement with instructors and materials.
π» Use of a Computer
We strongly recommend using a computer instead of smartphones. A computer provides access to essential interactive learning features, including screen sharing, viewing presentations, and group activities.
π₯ Webcam Etiquette
Keeping your webcam on is a sign of engagement and respect towards your instructor and fellow learners. It creates a more personal and interactive classroom environment.
π Additional Webcam Tips:
-
Ensure you have a professional background.
-
Set up in a quiet environment free from distracting noises.
-
Maintain good lighting so you are clearly visible.
-
Position yourself properly facing the camera to enhance visual interaction.
π Quiet Learning Environment
Choose a quiet, distraction-free space to maximize focus and effectively participate in your language training sessions.
π Confidentiality of MS Teams Links
All MS Teams links provided are confidential and should not be shared. This ensures the privacy and security of our online learning environment.

Mute your microphone when not speaking to avoid background noise.
