Technology Failure

If you suspect that there is a technology failure, it is your responsibility to notify USC Gould School of Law that you are not receiving the active participation monitoring activities during the live broadcast.

Update as of October 29, 2020: USC Gould School of Law is aware a technology failure within the Zoom livestreaming program. This failure affected the ability of CPE recipients to actively participate in the polls deployed for attendance verification. In compliance with the Group Internet-Based (Webcast) rules from the California Board of Accountancy, we are providing notification that the Technology Failure Policy has been enacted.

Technology Failure Policy:

USC Gould School of Law will deploy polling questions to satisfy the requirement of having 3 active participations per hour in order to be eligible for CPE credit. In the event that the livestreaming program fails to deliver the active participation elements required (as the technology works differently on each device), USC Gould School of Law will manually verify CPE credit.

If a CPE recipient fails to complete the active participation requirements as a result of technology failure, they will be limited to claim the number of minutes indicated in the livestreaming attendance reports [provided by Zoom for this specific conference].
CPE recipients need to take proactive measures by asking questions in the Q&A tab and recording the credit code given during each session. Those items will be used should Zoom fail to recognize attendees.

As the provider, USC Gould School of Law will:

Notify all CPE recipients of the Technology Failure Policy.
Manually verify credit and deliver certificates with credit minutes indicated.
Indicate that the Technology Failure Policy was enacted in the event of a credit audit by the California Board of Accountancy.
