The Reading Partners Connects (RPCx) system
All Reading Partners volunteers will log into the Reading Partners Connects system before their session to find lesson materials and review the last session’s notes. This is also where you will complete tutor notes at the end of your session. The system also includes an automated timer that will notify you when your session is 5 minutes from ending. This will also be where you log into the video meeting for your session.
Zoom conferencing
What is Zoom? Zoom is an online platform for video and audio calls and conferencing. Instructions on how to download Zoom can be found here.
