5 modules are used in AgH2Onward. Each module is accompanied by a workbook to help you follow along as the workshop is being presented.
Each workbook includes an overview of the presentation, additional information, and learning activities. The workbooks provide many quick learning activities that we will do throughout the workshop to keep you engaged.
The workbooks are in a PDF form and can be downloaded below. We have provided two types of downloads for printing; one in color and the other in grey scale.
If you are unable to print the workbooks please contact [email protected] and we will direct you to a WSA regional office or Watershed Stewardship Group office to PICK UP your workbook.

AgH2Onwards User Guide – GoToWebinar
We realize rural internet can sometimes be spotty, but when meeting in person is not an option, we go with the next best thing! We chose GoToWebinar because it uses the least amount of bandwidth of any of the online webinar or meeting programs.
This is the GoToWebinar quick start video, for attendees. It is very helpful.

This is also a How-To-Join Guide that can help you out!

You can use GoToWebinar on your mobile device or on your desktop computer.
It is a good idea to log on 5-10 minutes before AgH2Onward is scheduled to start. This will allow any programs to install for your viewing.
Another option is that you can run a system check (link can be found in the Confirmation email) anytime before the webinar to make sure your system is supported and you have downloaded the software.
When you first join a webinar, GoToWebinar will automatically detect your computer setup and direct you to the best join method. If you are on a compatible Windows or Mac computer, then the software will begin to install as soon as you join. In order to install the GoToWebinar desktop app, you’ll need to click through a few windows allowing GoToWebinar permission to access your computer.
If you have troubles, email [email protected] with your name and phone number and your problem and one of the staff will call you to try to help you out.
If you get disconnected from AgH2Onward Workshop because of a blip in your internet connection, the GoToWebinar application should reconnect by itself. Otherwise, you will need to join the session again. Just go back into your email, and re-connect using the link.
If the presenter is disconnected for some reason during the webinar, hopefully the webinar will remain open with the other organizers still on line. If it does not, within 5 minutes we will get back up and running. We too, are running on rural internet – so expect at some point we might have this happen to us too!
Why can’t anyone hear me? Webinars are designed to be in “listen-only” mode, so by default all webinar attendees are muted by the organizer.
Why can’t you hear anyone? There are a couple reasons this may be happening.
- The organizer might not have begun the broadcast yet. If you see the Viewer and hear intermittent beeps, then the organizer has started the webinar but has not yet begun broadcasting their audio, screen, or webcam to attendees.
- The wrong audio mode might be selected in GoToWebinar. Click the Settings icon to check your audio mode. See Switch Audio Modes in Session if you are connected to the wrong audio mode. If you want to connect with your microphone and speakers, make sure Computer Mode or Internet Mode is selected. If you want to connect with your telephone, make sure Phone Mode is selected.
The orange arrow on the ‘grab tab’ allows you to hide or expand your control panel so you will be able to see more of the presentation. Panes in the control panel are also on the grab tab too.
CHAT/QUESTION is an important pane for you. Click on it to open it up or minimize it. This is where you can ask questions or make comments.
How does the chat and questions work? You can type in and the organizer will need to repost your question or comment for everyone to see. We really encourage you to use this feature as we go along.
You can also raise your hand at any time. When we see the ‘raised hand’ icon blinking, we can answer your question in the chat/question box, or unmute you so that you can speak. When we unmute you, you then have to hit the microphone button on the control panel yourself to unmute yourself and speak.
If you need to be unmuted, let the organizer know by asking a question (in the Questions pane) or by raising your hand.
On day 2 of AgH2Onward, simply use the same join link that we sent you originally. It will work for both days.
What if you have to unexpectedly miss part of your webinar?
- Feel free to register for another webinar and tune in to view the day you missed.
- A link to the recording of the webinar is sent to everyone afterwards. Feel free to tune in there. Note however, that the videos we share will not be recorded and there will be “dead air” during those times (fast forward through this).
If The “Could Not Connect” error appears when a network issue is preventing GoToWebinar from connecting to the LogMeIn servers. It might just be that your WiFi is not working, but most often this is caused by a firewall that is blocking GoToWebinar.
