WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF "LIVE" ONLINE TRAINING?

Professional neurofeedback workshops require travel, rooming and loss of office time and client sessions. Attendance—that is, physical presence—is needed for training in the art of electrode placement. However, with the introduction of the DzCap, mastering the art of 4-channel electrode placement is no longer a challenge. Your first 4 channel hook-up will be accurate and it will take less than 10 minutes—it can easily be learned via the web. After the workshop, 4 channel montages can be done in 5 minutes or less. Furthermore, clean up time is reduce both for your electrodes and your trainee’s scalp. But, there are other reasons to choose virtual training:

1. Online training is not limited to consecutive days. Students are given more time to absorb new material. Sessions are held in the evenings and weekends.

2. Sleep deprivation—a common occurrence at workshops—is no longer a factor because you are sleeping in your own bed, eating your typical diet.

3. Personal attention—often lacking with larger workshops—is a plus, students can raise questions during and between training sessions.

4. What happens if you miss one of the 4-hour modules? No problem-take it the next time the on-line workshop is given. (Cost to retake workshop: $75.00 per 4 hour module)

5. PC issues almost always cause delays during 4-day-consecutive workshops. However, online workshop attendees usually resolve PC issues before the workshop begins. Thereafter, PC problems can be handled between sessions.

6. Homework can be assigned and completed before each session begins. Homework involves hooking up friends and family and acquiring EEG data.

Parameters

As you make your Joomla! site using the extension you will control the details of the display using parameters. Parameters control everything from whether the author's name is displayed to who can view what to the number of items shown on a list.

Default parameters for each components are changed using the Options button on the component toolbar.

Parameters can also be set on an individual item, such as an article or contact and in menu links.

If you are happy with how your site looks, it is fine to leave all of the parameters set to the defaults that were created when your site was installed. As you become more experienced with Joomla! you will use parameters more.
