West Coast Broadcast. When we hold
a west coast Excel online course, our broadcast starts at 8:30 AM PT
which can accommodate both PT and MT time zones quite nicely. That said, all
other times zones are welcome to join us and we will try to take
strategic breaks for all involved.
East Coast Broadcast. When we
hold an east coast Excel online course, our broadcast starts at 9:00

Hands-On, On-Line, Live, Excel Training,
Anywhere in the World. Our
Microsoft Excel
online courses and Microsoft Excel VBA online courses allow us to
provide customized training for individual
customers or companies anywhere in the world. Using GoToMeeting, EMAGENIT can train you at your
desk, home, in your company meeting room, or in your company training
facility.
During our Excel online courses, you will be
working live with an experienced Excel instructor typing the
problems for the course, hands-on, as the instructor types
them. You will see our instructor's computer and everything they type and
they can see yours when given permission.
We Use
GoToMeeting, Make Sure You
Can Download It. We use GoToMeeting when broadcasting. To
use GoToMeeting
on your computer requires you to perform a simple download
that does not usually violate security (always exceptions) and
does not usually effect antivirus software (always exceptions). Be sure to
try to download GoToMeeting before the course, as in days
before the online Excel course, not 10 minutes before. If you
cannot download it, give us a call and we will try to help. You
can download GoToMeeting directly from their website at
www.gotomeeting.com.
This can usually be done by clicking the Join Meeting button in
their menu and then punching in the meeting information.
Experience
Driven, Real World, Excel Training. Our online Excel
courses and online Excel VBA
courses are taught by an experienced Excel instructor who
develops advanced Microsoft Excel software for a living. The
Microsoft Excel problems covered in our online courses reflect
real world industry problems. EMAGENIT's 19+ years of
Microsoft Excel software design and consulting experience are also
reflected in our Excel online courses through the Excel strategies and
construction methods presented. Long story
short, we teach you what we do in Microsoft Excel when we develop software for customers.
How We Talk.
EMAGENIT uses GoToMeeting VoIP in its Microsoft Excel
online courses and Microsoft Excel VBA online courses which allows the instructor to talk to you through your computer and vice versa. To take advantage
of this communication setup, you need a microphone and speakers for your computer. In the event you do not have them for your computer, EMAGENIT can provide conference calling for our customers in the US and
internationally using SKYPE.
What
Talking Gear to Use. When taking our online courses, we recommend using a headset or speaker phone if you have to use the conference line. That way you can type, talk and listen without having
to hold a phone to your ears. We recommend Logitech microphones if you do not have a microphone for your computer and Logitech headsets for your phones for voice communication.
In a Conference Room, Why Not
Project GoToMeeting. If you have a conference room or training
room available, use a separate computer to log into GoToMeeting
and project our Excel online course. You will also log your own computer into
GoToMeeting to interact with the meeting. Using this strategy,
you can use your computer for typing the Excel course problems and talking without having to toggle
between Excel and GoToMeeting to see what to type. It is also gives the effect of having the instructor sit
in the room with you. We use Optima projectors ourselves when training.
Use at Least Two Monitors for Viewing
GoToMeeting. If you are using
a computer to view our online Excel course, then we suggest you have at least two
monitors to view GoToMeeting. Using this strategy, you can use one monitor to view
GoToMeeting and the other monitor to view Microsoft
Excel when creating the Excel course problems. If looking to use three
monitors, our standard, EMAGENIT recommends using an
adapter called J5 Create to hookup a third monitor to your
computer via a USB port. If you are on the go and out of the
office on your laptop, ASUS makes a cool led portable monitor
called the M168B 16 inch led monitor that is powered from your
computer's USB port. The monitor is 8mm thick, the thickness of a yellow writing pad,
and is light weight. The B model has the higher resolution
and is well worth the extra money. Since technology changes fast, look up
ASUS portable led monitor for more recent versions, same goes for J5.
One note here on the J5 style tech, some laptop USB drives do
not have enough juice to run a led monitor. If this is the
case, you will know it when you plug in the monitor and
nothing happens, buy a powered USB hub to correct the problem.
