NSS/CDS Webinar

The NSS/CDS will be presenting a Webinar in October for anyone and everyone who logs in. No requirement to be a member (if I understand correctly). I also believe this will be a regular series, but those in the know may chime in and give us the details.

What I do know is that I was asked to present and agreed. I don't have the log in details, but will post them as soon as I know, or maybe someone who knows more about this than me will do so.

Life in Submerged Caves: Aquatic Cave Biology, Skip Kendrick presenter.

Thursday, October 17, 2013 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM CDT

Mark your calendars and stay tuned for access info. Also check the NSS/CDS website. I've been told that it will be posted there and that all members will be emailed the info.

I may be jumping the gun a bit, so if I'm stepping on toes, or let the cat out of a bag, sorry.

I hope whatever happens that we record this for our friends and members in other parts of the world who don't have the luxury of being on EDT or CDT (such as it being 2am in Germany.)
If you are willing to share your materials with the CDS, I'd love to put them in the library we will build for educational purposes and/or re-use.
Really looking forward to your presentation!
Steve

I would think that the webinar would be recorded and archived and accessible from the NSS/CDS website after the live presentation. The live presentation will include audience questions via typing them into a message box. the moderator collects them, then breaks into the talk every so often to read the questions so we can all hear them, and my answers.

If it turns out they are not archiving, I will add narration to the power point and provide a copy for the NSS/CDS library/website.

that's the goal...and we talked about it a little during the board meeting....we do lots of webinars in my business so I can help whoever decides to take it on.
I'm looking forward to your talk.

Im super excited that you agreed to do the webinar. As far as I know they will be archived after their initial broadcast.

Thank you again.

What Web Client are you going to use?

AT&T connect?
Go To meeting?
It would be nice to know far enough in advance to allow people to install the client that most need. I know that AT&T has a record feature, we use it at work all time.

I really enjoy the NSS webinar series. There have been some outstanding presentations given and they can be seen anytime here: http://www.caves.org/webinars/index.shtml

I'm glad to see there will be one featuring life in underwater caves!

Thanks to all who are involved in making this happen.

There will be one in November about cave diver training.

Guess I have missed this but I look forward to the next one. NSSCDS BOD and others - thanks for doing this.

Sandy, there was a proposal and resolution to move October this year to be *after* September so you're good this year.
Kidding aside, Thursday, October 17, 2013 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM CDT is your date for the webinar.

You may have missed it, what day was it again? :-D

The NSS reach out to me and asked if the CDS would desire to host webinars on cave, cave diving, etc. I have tried to reach out to everyone I think might be interested but if I failed to ask you please let me know and I will put you in contact with the right person at NSS.

Thanks
TF

Here's the official announcement:

Life in Submerged Caves: Aquatic Cave Biology, by Skip Kendrick

Join us for a Webinar on October 17

Space is limited.
Reserve your Webinar seat now at:
https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/435273047

We are pleased to announce that Skip Kendrick, a member of the NSS Cave Diving Section, will present Life in Submerged Caves: Aquatic Cave Biology. Life found in water-filled caves ranges in size from microbial mats to larger cave visiting fish, creating delicate—and fascinating—ecosystems.

This informal webinar is designed for non-scientist cave divers, cavers, and the layman that have an interest in underwater caves. The talk will discuss the many different habitats found in caves, from the entrance area to the dark zone.

Skip will discuss animals that have accidently entered caves as well as highly adapted cave life, with topics including how they get into caves, how they become adapted to life in submerged caves, and the importance of water quality in the survival of these unique ecosystems. Finally, Skip will discuss what the caving and cave diving communities can do to ensure the survival of cave adapted species.

Register early as limited spots are available. Please arrive 10 minutes before the start of the webinar.

Now that's funny.

I have cancelled the Webinar. The NSS keeps sending me emails each one with different dates and times. When I contact them I am told this or that one was a mistake and has been deleted then a day or two later I get another email from them with the same date and time or some totally new date and time. I have no clue when they actually and really scheduled the webinar and finally in frustration told them to cancel the whole dang thing.

What if some of the more IT-smart people on the CDF got together an impromptu video cast to whatever audience we could drum up at a time of your choosing? If it costs money for the video cast, I'd chip in some money to make it happen. I'm sure we could get costs covered by the cave diving public whether people are from the CDS or not.

Then I'm sure we could find someone to host the video for future consumption too, TJ?

I'd help.

I know this is confusing, but apparently the webinar was scheduled for two different days at two different times. The people in charge then realized what had happened and cancelled one day and time, but left the other one scheduled. I got the announcement of the cancelled webinar, and the next day the explanation. It took several emails yesterday and today to sort out just which day I was scheduled for and at what time, but apparently all those who signed up already did things right.

So the show is back on. They do plan to record and make it available on the NSS website in the archives.

See you all Thursday at 8pm Central Time (Oct 17th).

You've heard it all before! Same old same old. And it will be archived in case your memory needs to go for a jog!
