> and is about an hour long.

Sort of basic stuff at the front (targeted at power engineers), then gets 
into some power system specific examples.

> webinar platform. You will be able to watch the presentation slides 
> on your computer from the designated site 
http://asu.adobeconnect.com/pserc/
> [asu.adobeconnect.com] and listen to the 
> webinar through your computer?s speakers or headphones. Click here
> [pserc.wisc.edu] for the connection details and instructions for 
> testing your connection. If you cannot hear the presenter, check to 
> make sure your speaker is not muted in Adobe Connect. It may also be
> possible to use the app ?Adobe Connect? Mobile? to participate via 
> smart phone or tablet. 
> ·         You can also listen to the audio over the public phone 
> bridge at 712-432-0800 (passcode: 937250#). Be sure to mute your 
> phone (press *6) so sounds in your room do not go out to the phone 
> bridge with other listeners. Should you not be able to connect to 
> the webinar, you can also download the slides from the PSERC website
> and listen to the audio over the phone. 
> ·         You can watch the archived webinar at a different time by 
> clicking here[mediasite.engr.wisc.edu] and then on the link for this
> webinar. Note: This is also another way to watch the webinar in 
real-time. 
> 
> Asking Questions During the Webinar: You are invited to ask 
> questions or make comments during the webinar using the Adobe 
> Connect webconferencing platform. Just enter your question into the Q&A 
box.
