[Trainer-Talk] Seeking options for remote iOS training

Fri Apr 17 15:01:54 UTC 2020

Exactly. We are looking for a solution to allow us to hear a student's
audio, not for them to hear ours, though I can see some benefits to
that as well. Plus, only one of our instructors actually has a mixer.
Some students have computers, but this seems like a more complicated
option to request a student to do, especially if they are not
proficient with the computer in the first place.

Be well,
Wayne Merritt
