obtain the call-in number for your country. If your country is not listed, you will need to use your computer speakers (VoIP).
eCast registered Single Viewers and Group Viewing Coordinators will be provided via email all eCast materials/handouts the day prior to the live program date. If the handout is not available the day prior, it will be available in the GoToWebinar platform during the live program under “handouts” as well as in the AABB Education Platform after the live program has occurred. The handout can be used to take notes throughout the program and draft questions to submit during the question and answer session.
For on-demand eCasts, the handout(s) is available on the AABB Education Platform for registered participants.
As a Group Viewing Coordinator, you play an integral and critical role in managing an AABB live and on-demand eCast.
AABB will require that all participants that you would generally bring together in a room each register as a single viewer for your registered Group Viewing eCast (including you, the group viewing coordinator). AABB will provide language and instructions for you to share with your team which includes (sample language you will receive from AABB):
Access instructions for the live program will be provided to each of your registered participants via email, from the GoToWebinar platform, generally 24-72 hours after registering. The access instructions email will contain information that is unique for each individual. Reminder emails from GoToWebinar with log in information will be provided again 1 day and 1 hour prior to the eCast for registered individuals.
Distribution of the GoToWebinar link is strictly prohibited. Only one participant registration/log-on is allowed per single viewer registration. AABB reviews attendance/participation and individuals/groups will be billed at the full price of an eCast if logged on but have not registered.
On-Demand eCasts are housed on the AABB Education Platform. Access instructions will be provided via email approximately 3-10 business days after the live program has occurred and the on-demand version is available. If registering after the live program date has occurred and the on-demand program is available, access is provided immediately via the AABB Education Platform for single viewers and access will be provided via email within 1-2 business days for group viewers. In general, on-demand eCasts are available for access for up to three years from when the live program occurred.
Single Viewer On-Demand eCast is available for the registrant to access the on-demand version of the eCast. Once registered and access is provided, registered participants will have up to three years from the live program date (applicable to most on-demand eCasts) to access and view the program. On-Demand eCasts are available for three years from the live program date at which time the program is no longer available for viewing.
Group Viewing On-Demand eCast is available for the registered group/facility to access the program unlimited times for up to three years from the live program date. Access is provided via email. Group Viewing Coordinators can provide the facility access information to their team. Each participant can log on, watch the video and submit an attendance log to eLearning@aabb.org. If a participant also attended the live program, that participant cannot earn credit for the on-demand eCast (double credits is not allowed). By submitting the attendance log, the participant and/or group viewing coordinator attests that each participant watched the presentation in its entirety. Once AABB receives the attendance log, each participant listed will be emailed a link to access Education Platform to submit an evaluation and claim CE/CME credit (as applicable). See Continuing Education Credit Certificates below for certificate availability.
