Zoom Questions

Hello Everyone! Happy Friday! I am reaching out as we are looking into acquiring Zoom. I wanted to connect with the group to inquire about those of you who are using Zoom. First, are you using a university account or is your account solely for your CE department? Also, are you using Zoom Webinar or Zoom meetings? I know that the ACDE is using Zoom webinar, but I am wondering about the individual schools, especially as you put on online courses. We are trying to figure out what we need from Zoom should we switch over to using Zoom within our account. If you have any other insight on Zoom that would be great.


Thank you!

Hi Meghan,


I am with ATSU-Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health. I use the University's Zoom account for Zoom meetings. If I want to do a webinar, I can use the University's account for webinars as well, but I go through the university's academic department and they will schedule it for me.

CE Course Prep Work

Good afternoon all!


Do you provide CE credit for "prep" work for a CE course? Meaning, if there is reading that is required before the in person course would that count as CE and if it does how does one determine what that amount is and how do you document it on the speaker PW (if you need to document it).

Thank you

We don't have anything like this at the University of Kentucky, but I think if we did, I would do something like this: Per Standard XIV 3-D, "For participation in self-paced self-instructional programs, the provider must award credit based on a good faith estimate of the time it takes an average participant to complete the program."


So I would take the total number of words in the reading that is required, and I'd divide that by around 250 for an average reading speed (based on something like this reading speed chart: https://catalog.shepherd.edu/mime/media/12/913/SU+Credit+Hour+Policy+Appendix+B.pdf)


From there, I don't believe it would need to be documented on the speaker paperwork, would it?

CE Signature for attendees

When you host an event, are you required to have someone physically "sign in" (sign with a pen on a sheet of paper) or is it enough to have our registration table mark them on our excel sheet?


Thank you

So, per the ADA CERP accreditation standards, there's no actual requirement for how to document attendance. It's just something your office is required to do.


So to that end, I think it would depend on your office's policy. Here at UK, we require attendees sign on a sheet of paper for in-person attendance, and in the few cases we get (mostly for smaller, internal only classes like our Grand Rounds) where they didn't, we require another attendee sign an "attestation" that the other person was there.


As a side note, for multi-day courses, we usually have them sign on the first day, and then initial each day after.
