MIAM Registered Students

Welcome to the MIAM Registered Student group

This Whatsapp group is for Sam and students of MIAM to share dialogue, learning materials & updates. When you first join you will only see posts and reference materials entered from that point on, so we have setup some links to past material so you can catch-up.

All the links are available from the group description reached by clicking on the 'MIAM Registered Students' title at the top of the Whatsapp page.

Using Mega to view files

Mega is an online media storage service - see www.mega.nz for more information.
To view images and PDFs posted by Sam in the group, use the 'Media reference on Mega' link.

Mega will always try to get you to setup an account and view the files via its App, but you do not have to do this. Just remember to click on the 'View in Browser' each time you view a file. You can of course choose to setup a free Mega account with just your name and email; viewing files in the folder is much easier with the app, and you get a free 50GB of data storage with your account.
