Chromebooks, iPads, Android tablets, and cell phones have limited WebEx functionality and we DO NOT recommend their use for virtual training. To ensure that you receive credit for your attendance, you must: (1) be in the virtual classroom for the entire scheduled time with a functioning microphone or phone connection, (2) participate in the activities during the virtual class, and (3) complete and obtain a passing knowledge assessment score within 2 days after class. Failure to do any of the following might be cause for a student incompletion. Additionally, your BWC Learning Center registration must match your WebEx registration to be provided credit. Special anomalies can be discussed with your BWC host if someone registered a student but was not person to attend class. If not discussed with the host when there is no WebEx time for a BWC Learning Center assessment for a VTC, the assumption is the student did not take class. VTCs will be updated 14 days after they are completed within the BWC Learning Center. Please contact dshcc@bwc.state.oh.us for any issues or concerns.
