Hello everyone!
Professor Chris Impey will be hosting a live online discussion for Astronomy: State of the Art on Friday, April 5th from 3pm to 4pm PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).
Although he will be interacting with students live during the session, we realize not everyone will be able to attend, and we invite you to submit questions ahead of time. This will also help us keep things organized, and to prepare ahead of time in case of network issues that could make asking questions in the session more difficult. Please send questions to us via Twitter to @AstronomySOTA or through email to: AstronomySOTA@gmail.com.
There are 3 (three) ways to participate in the live discussion:
1) You can join us on Udemy using their LIVE SESSION tool (you will see the link on the course page).
2) You can join us using the Blackboard Collaborate tool through the University of Arizona. You will need to install the most recent version of JAVA for this to work. Simply click on the following link, download the file, and click on it when you have finished downloading (if you get syntax errors, just click OK and it will still work just fine). The Blackboard Link is: (http://elluminate.oia.arizona.edu/scheduleMeetingnonetid.php?sessionId=1518395)
3) Watch the broadcast on Google+. We will broadcast the session live in a Google Hangout and the video will be available afterwards on YouTube for those of you who were unable to join us live. There is currently no good way for us to use G+ to interact with more than 15 people at a time, so for now this tool will be used for broadcasting and recording (YES, you will be able to watch it, even without a Google+ account, and it will be available on our Google+ page and on YouTube after the session has ended). To watch the broadcast, click on the following URL for our Google+ page. (https://plus.google.com/u/0/110438101511252202485/posts)
