The data usage and costs for attending a live webinar are comparable to entertainment streaming services like Netflix and Showmax. Estimated data usage is 0,8-1,2 Gb per hour. If you do not have an uncapped internet connection at home, we highly recommend that you purchase a Vodacom SIM card and do hourly top-ups during the session breaks (these top-ups cost R12/Gb and are valid for an hour).

A strict code of conduct is enforced to ensure the online safety, security and productivity of Science Clinic's webinars. We use a two-factor authentication to ensure that only registered participants join our webinars. All registered webinar participants will receive a randomly generated token code which must be used to join a webinar. A webinar administrator co-hosts every webinar to support the webinar presenter and monitor participant activity.

Learners may not share their personal contact information or social media accounts in any Science Clinic webinars. Learners are automatically signed in to a session with their video cameras turned off, which reduces the bandwidth requirements, but also acts as a further privacy and security means.

Science Clinic has taken great care to select a platform that offers maximum functionality for our sessions - the Zoom webinar platform will be used. Any reported "security issues" regarding use of the Zoom webinar platform are specificially relevant to leaking of confidential or proprietary information in company meetings.
