Paying for a Course

There are two ways to pay for a course but it depends on how you intend to pay. Once you add the course to your cart, you will be sent to the paypal page to pay via 2 ways:

1. Payment via Paypal Account

If you would like to pay with your Checking Account via Paypal click the Paypal button on the Course Payment page. Put in your Paypal account information,   which will sign you in to your Paypal account, and follow the Paypal instructions on the page page. You can also pay with your credit card via Paypal through the same process. Please note that if  you have  Israeli Isracard you are required to use this option, as Paypal credit card(#2 below) does not accept Isracard only.

2. Payment via Credit Card

If you would like to pay via credit card you will have the ability to pay directly on the Course Payment page, also via paypal.   Isracard is NOT accepted by Paypal.

Both payment methods are secured using the latest 128-bit SSL encryption technology, so your payments are always secure.

top

Failure Logging into Class

The email received before each class,  contains log in information.  If this does not work, please contact the LIVE-ed office here.

top

Attending a Class without a Webcam

Courses can be viewed without a webcam. While the teacher and other students will not be able to see you, you can still see them and participate fully in the class. You also have the ability to not view any of the other students as well.

top

Attending a Class without a Microphone

It is possible to attend a web conference class without a microphone. You will still be able to hear and see the class. However, you will not be able to ask questions or interact fully in the classroom.

top

Inability to neither Hear nor Speak During a Class Session

Probably, you are not yet part of the audio conference. To enable this capability click on the “communicate” pull down menu and select “integrated VOIP.” Next, click on “join conference.” This should allow you to hear and speak. If this does not help, please contact our technical support by clicking here. It is recommended that you watch the training video on how to use the web conferencing software.

top

Difficulty Hearing the Teacher during the Class Session

The best way to tell is to try communicating with others in the class. If they can hear you without a problem, then the issue is most likely with the teacher. If you do not come through to others then the problem may be with your connection.

top

Running other Software during Class Sessions

It is possible to run other software during a class session. Certain classes teach students how to use specific software. However, Skype should be quit during a session. It’s not enough to simply minimize Skype. You must select the FILE menu within Skype and select QUIT to turn the software off. If left running it will interfere with the web conferencing software.

top

No Response from Technical Support

Technical support answers all received emails and calls as quickly as possible. During certain times, such as with the start of a new semester, there is a high volume of requests and it may take a bit longer to get back to you.
