Scheduled Telephone Lessons

Please note : This information provided here is for students who are home schooled or who have been given special consideration to participate.

There are several categories of enrolment and access to STL is affected by these conditions of enrolment.

Some students pay for the specialised phones whereas others are loaned a phone for the duration of the lessons or can use a speaker phone which can work just as well in most cases, your phone may also have a 'jack' to plug in a headset and mike , this would work just as well as the phones loaned by BSDE.

There are eligibility criteria for these as well. These will have been addressed by the enrolment staff upon application or during the first consultation. If still have further concerns, they should be directed to the enrolment staff of the BSDE

by phone on (07) 32148393 or
email info@brisbanesde.eq.edu.au or
visit the BSDE webpage

The phones supplied are digital and have an adapter plug for the microphone. Normal phone will still work, however,

identification of user feature will not work.
handsfree option ( using headset with microphone) may not be possible
feedback ( due to proximity of speaker to the microphone ...which builds up to a crescendo; high pitch noise ) as well as picking up the surrounding noise which may affect lesson audio quality.

Students will call in on the 1800 number ( not given here) or local call number if you are not eligible for this number. The sessions require a unique 5 digit family pin number ( given on completed return of consent / application form ) as well as a two digit pin number for the scheduled session. If you lose yours please contact enrolments on (07) 32148393, as I only know of the access pin for my subject's session.

Format : #### #### (access number) ##### (family pin) ## (session pin)

If you experience technical difficulties please call (07) 3214 8430.

Physics

2009

Session time Friday : 8:00am ( session pin will be 01)

If this changes, I will notify you by email and update this page.

They will run for about 45 minutes each
if students wanted to attend both ( same content) , they would be welcome to do so)

Please read about conference protocols also : Protocols

back to Physics page

STL - conference protocols

Delivery of an telephone (audio only) conference between many people needs some rules so that the delivery is free flowing and content is intelligible by all.

Please adhere to the following conference protocols (etiquette)

When entering the conference wait for the the conversation to stop ; the moderator ( teacher ) will welcome you to the conference by name ( system recognises the caller ID)
- When a new person enters there will be a small pause while the moderator makes introductions. Once this is done the, the previous speaker is then allowed to continue.
- Example "Welcome Emily, ( pause for hello in return)... we were just discussing the assignment that is due in 2 weeks".
When you wish to make a comment or ask a question, state your name and wait for the moderator to announce you.
- example for student asking a question:
  - Student: "Question!"
  - Teacher : "Someone has a question?"
  - Student : " Katherine speaking " ,
  - Teacher : " Yes, Katherine"
  - (Katherine then continues)
The teacher may allow for group discussions, if it is appropriate. However when the teacher wants to stop this and take charge of the lesson again, conversation must come to an end immediately.
- The teacher also has the ability to mute (silence) the discussions.
Please note, there are sometimes up to eight ( or more ) students in a teleconference. Some students may not have the opportunity to speak. Students should try to keep interruptions to a minumum and allow others to have a chance to participate in discussions.
Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.

While you may not agree with them do not criticize anothers point of view. This would be characterized as bullying and intimidation.
Be respectful of others and their points of view.

The conference will end after 45 minutes, so teachers may annouce the remaining time available before the sessions ends in readiness to close the lesson .

The system will autodisconnect all users after the allocated 45 minutes for the lesson.
- The teacher has no control of the automated disconnect feature, this feature is used to ensure the discussions are finalised during this time.

Note : If you wish to ask another student a question of a personal nature, ask them to call you after the conference.

Calling procedure:

Dial the number ( as given by school, xxxx xxxx )

followed by the unique 4 digit family pin yyyy (this will be assigned to your family by BSDE ) and

then finally the 2 digit session pin zz (your teacher will give this to you, depending on which booth they will be running their classes, mine are listed below in RED ).

Note : 2 digit session pin is determined by the Studio room numbers shown in above table, so

Studio01 01 _______(for 2009 - year 11 physics)
Studio02 02 _______(for 2009 - year 12 physics)
Studio03 03

(07) xxxx xxxx ( wait for the tone to sound) yyyyy zz ( a double tone will sound when the numbers entered are accepted by the system)

System Crashes

From time to time, the system may crash and leave you wondering what is going on.

In the event that the system does crash ...or you are experiencing some form of difficulty in accessing the session, you can call me at the booth where the conference call lessons are conducted on the following phone numbers : ( please note at the start of the year I run my sessions from my desk 32148325 - while the system bugs are fixed - call me there instead and I can patch you into the session on my phone - if the line is busy wait a couple of minutes as tehre may be anotehr student in the same predicament as you)

Dataconferencing

From time to time I do make use of Dataconferening during my STL's.
