The slides I uploaded to Elluminate for the three presenter training sessions (I have added a couple that expand the application share info and explain webtours)
2. 1. Exploring the tools 2. Some strategies that work well First a poll! So I know where you’re coming from Polling buttons
3. How familiar are you with Elluminate? A Completely new B Often as participant, never moderator C Occasional moderator D Often moderator E Teach others to use & moderate
5. NOW! All to be Moderators Please SIT ON YOUR HANDS !!!!!!!! Otherwise we will have anarchy
6. Setting up audio Wizard steps you through setting mic & speaker levels Good Practice to do this each time you enter a virtual room If mic doesn’t work try select input device Try NOW!
7. To use microphone (mic) Click once to talk Mic active when yellow Click once again to finish
8. Microphone (mic) If someone forgets to switch off Click mic next to their name – this switches off & removes mic, click again to restore
9. Everyone click hands up! 1. In order of “hands up” introduce yourself (max 1 minute each) 2. When you finish your intro click “hand up” to put the hand down
10. Text chat 1. Be aware – Moderators can see all chat, even private communications 2. With practise and planning your windows you can monitor chat as you present 3. If you have additional moderator they should help monitor for you (answer if they can or collect questions)
11. Emoticons etc Ask participants to use emoticons You can use these to sub for lack of visual cues and body language
13. Loading slides If you have time: 1. Pre-prepare load into Ellum 2. Add links or anything you want people to move on the whiteboard 3. Resave in .wbd format Its quicker to load and allows clickable links
18. How? Uncheck “Layout Locked” 2. Play until you like the config! Already familiar with unlocked layouts? Have you tried these? Explore!
19. Application Share Sharing a region Use for demos Shares selected area Less resource heavy than full desktop share All data goes to host servers & back so takes time to appear on all screens Need accurate sizing Can be accidentally covered

22. WebTour To take audience to a particular website Uses participant’s own browser Allows people to explore at their own pace within a site Tick “TourGuide” to guide through a site &/or to bring all back to same page as you Can’t be used on password protected sites
23. Video Bandwidth! Best used briefly at start Then close down Preview before transmit Transmit goes “live”
24. Multimedia Flash, MPEG, MPEG4, WMV, MP3, Bandwidth! Participants must have player! Can be preloaded or use URL Shows loading progress for each participant. All green = fully loaded for everyone
25. As a presenter: A profile is good but not essential Tools > Preferences Take Care! All info can be seen by anyone who can see your profile!
