ZOOM INFORMATION

Zoom is an online program which will allow Explorers to participate in their courses virtually from their homes. It is user-friendly, and if you are new to the program there will be mentors to help you to join in for your first class.

  • You can access Zoom through a smartphone, (iPhone or Android,) iPad or tablet, a laptop or desktop computer with a WI-FI (internet) connection.
  • It will simplify the connection process if you download the free Zoom app beforehand.
  • On the invitation there will be a lengthy blue link that begins with https:// and followed by number and letters. Approximately ten minutes prior to the starting hour of the class, you will double click on that link and it will transport you to your meeting.
  • If you have problems connecting, a telephone number will be provided to assist you on the course’s first day.

Here is the Zoom link for the 2024 Winter semester.  It is the same for all sessions.
