For those of us attending the webcast don't forget it's today! 1 pm EST NOON CST 11 am PST or 6 pm GMT and so on.... Everyone signed up and have their info, along with the channel? I know sometimes technical difficulties happen, so I thought I'd make this thread so that we can help each other out if there are problems logging in/getting in. Remember, they ask if we use the chat function, don't mention Mturk because most of us there aren't Turkers! Let's not discuss the details of the HIT/survey involved in this thread, though out of respect for the requester's project.
I'm going to go ahead and log in and everything to allow time for any difficulties (I'm usually the one w the difficulties, ha)
I am setting up to start in a few minutes as well! Do you know if I need to be in the webcam ? If I do I need to freshen up lol
That's what I was just about to ask! From everything I understood in the instructions, no. The instructions for this are: We will accept the HIT when we can match your AMT ID number on an enrollment survey, confirmation of attendance (we will monitor the Spreecast), and a follow-up survey. Please remember to be respectful during the webcast if you choose to use the chat function. Please also refrain from identifying as a Turk worker, so non-AMT participants will not feel uncomfortable. Anyway, if a web cam is required, I'm putting a piece of tape over mine or something. ha.
I just noticed it said we would take a survey BEFORe and after the webcast. I did not get a survey before the webcast. Did anyone else?
I emailed him this morning and he replied that they made a mistake on the post. Just the webcast and post survey is required
Oh good, thanks Are you participating in the convo? I love politics but I can't get into this one yet. I've said a couple things in chat.
Yeah, way too busy there. I mentioned my thoughts on guns in the chat, but that was it. I also submitted a text question about social security but it wasn't answered yet.
