When will my Virtual Travel Adventure be scheduled?
Once you complete the online registration form, an ETA staff member will contact you to schedule your Virtual Travel Adventure. Once scheduled, you will receive a unique invitation link with a password to share with your students prior to the start of the session. Please note all participants will need to enter the password in order to enter the Zoom session for privacy reasons.
Which platform will the group use for the Virtual Travel Adventure?
We are primarily using Zoom (with a password required) for Virtual Travel Adventures, but we are able to accommodate other platforms. Please let us know which platform will work best for your group.
How long are the Virtual Travel Adventures?
Virtual Travel Adventures are between 45-60 minutes.
Will my Virtual Travel Adventure be private?
Yes, your Virtual Travel Adventure will be private; we never combine groups. This means that your students will be the only class with the link.
Will my Virtual Travel Adventures be live?
Yes, all Virtual Travel Adventures are held live. This will allow your students to interact with the host(s).
Will my students be able to talk or chat with the host(s)?
Yes! Each Virtual Travel Adventure is designed to be a meaningful educational experience filled with interaction. Therefore the quality of the session is dependent on everyone involved! We highly encourage participation.
How much does a Virtual Travel Adventure cost?
We are pleased to offer our Virtual Travel Adventures to our groups that had to cancel due to the pandemic free of charge.
How many participants can be in one virtual classroom?
Most Virtual Travel Adventures can accommodate your entire group. Spy School 101, Beyond the Battlefield, and Investigating the Lincoln Assassination have limited group sizes per session.
Will the video feature be enabled for my students?
This is up to each group leader to decide. As hosts of the Virtual Travel Adventures, we have the ability to enable or disable the video and audio options.
Am I only permitted to schedule a Virtual Travel Adventure based on my cancelled trip destination?
We encourage you to select a Virtual Travel Adventure that is relevant to your group, but you are not limited to only selecting one based on your cancelled trip destination.
Will my students be able to ask questions?
Yes! We encourage students to ask questions throughout the session, but there will be additional time for Q&A at the end of each session.
What if my school is not permitting us to use Zoom?
Please contact us. We are happy to discuss alternative options to make this available for your students.
I have a question that was not answered here.
