Hearings may be held in person, by telephone, or by other remote technology, as agreed by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree how a hearing will be held, the presiding officer shall decide, based upon considerations of: locations of the parties; locations of any witnesses; agreements regarding the admission of prepared testimony or other evidence; complexity of the dispute; limitations in suitability of telephone or remote technology for one or more parties; and any other factor impacting the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of the proceeding. However a hearing is held, all participants shall be afforded an opportunity to participate in the entire proceeding while it is taking place.
