I don’t have information about the nature of the problems, but next time I’ll recommend that participants use computers. We learned afterward that some people tried to access the session from their iPads and were not able to.There are a few other things I might do differently next time: We have a theory that the client crashes were related to the fact that I was logged in as the admin. Logging in as myself and also as admin, then passing presenter control to myself so the admin account isn’t required the whole time.Muting everyone at once! I knew there had to be a way to do that, but I sure couldn’t find it until someone showed me where it was.Setting the conference options in advance to mute the beeps when people enter and leave.My thanks go to the attendees who helped me take care of these tasks on the fly this time! Next time, pre-flight will include: This was a much larger workshop than I’ve run before, and I now have some pre-workshop housekeeping steps that I’ll take care of next time. (Thanks, everyone, for hanging in there til I got back!) We’re still not sure exactly what happened.
I got kicked out of the conference twice when the WebEx client quit on me. We had some technical issues - at least, I did. I learned a lot - especially about giving an online workshop to that many people - and I also mentioned a bunch of tools and offered to make my Sketchbook Pro brush sets available for download.

Over 130 people attended the free online workshop, which was scheduled to go for an hour but ended up running about 90 minutes. Anne Merkelson moderated the session, and Tomi Nagai-Rothe and Ed Palmer provided backup and technical support. Last Friday, I led a workshop at The Grove called Digital Tools for Graphic Recording.
