Welcome and congratulations!  By signing up for the upcoming term of What in the World you demonstrate that you are not allowing the privations of this pandemic to limit your world to this County, or inhibit your curiosity about the rest of this world of ours. You are also part of an experiment, where we morph from 13 years of face-to-face teaching to a Zoom-driven term of cyber education.  Here are the details:

• The term is free

• It will go for 8 weeks at 11 am every Friday from September 25th

• For those of you who are unsure of your Zoom competency, I will give a mini talk on the previous Friday September 18th at 11, where I will update anyone who responds to my Zoom invitation on the state of the global COVID 19 pandemic, and if you have any technical issues you have a week to sort them out, and I would be happy to help.  With my homeless agency I am doing anything from 2-4 Zoom meetings a day, so am becoming a reluctant Zoom aficionado. 

• The format will be as before, with the first week covering the world, then each week a different region of the world, finishing with the final week about the US and its relation to the rest of the world.

• You will find the first day easier if you download the Zoom application to your PC/laptop/phone prior to the 18th or 25th.

• I will be sending you a Zoom invitation prior to each week and all you have to do is to click on it to get to the session

• To prevent gatecrashers, once you online you will go into a Waiting Room until I admit you

• On entering the session, you will see your fellow classmates and the first slide. Each slide I show will cover the main points that I will talk through.

• To avoid the distraction of background noise I will be muting everyone unless you have a question.

• You can ask a question by clicking on the Chat button at the bottom of the screen and typing your question.  If it's a long question just type Question and I will unmute you so you can say it.

• Feel free to enter questions on any Region but I will only answer them when we get to that particular Region.

If you have any questions now, please ask, otherwise I will see you on the 18th and/or the 25th.  I have put these points on the attached pdf file in case you want to print them out and keep them for reference
