For example, if an attendee clicks on another application (bringing it to the forefront) that attendee would show as inattentive. • Control Panel: The Control Panel gives organizers, panelists and attendees access to various insession training functions. • Course Catalog: The Course Catalog is an online listing of all posted upcoming scheduled training sessions. People can read about training sessions from this list and register for them, or see that they are full. • GoToMeeting/GoToTraining Suite Icon: Organizers on Mac can use the GoToMeeting daisy icon to access both GoToMeeting and GoToTraining features.
