 * Audience characteristics**

The primary audience of the iChat training will be the members of the Office of Academic Enhancement's Technology Magnet Cluster program's technology teacher cohort. The following assumptions are made about the audience:

1. The audience is has access to an Apple [|MacBook]. MacBooks were provided to the cohort at the beginning of the program.

2. The audience has developed computer skills. They can operate their MacBook and connect to the Internet. They can troubleshoot Internet connection issues.

3. The audience does not necessarily have experience with videoconferencing, using the camera and sound features of the MacBook, or experience with iChat -- these skills will be addressed in the training.

As members of the cohort, the audience are adults with teacher certifications.

Technology teachers have busy schedules so training time is limited. The training needs to be accomplished in 2 hours.
 * Constraints**

There are no known learning disabilities.
