Collaborate Version 12 (formerly Elluminate Live!)Haven’t tried Collaborate, formerly known as Elluminate Live!, yet? It’s an amazing way to communicate real-time with your students online. Think of the possibilities—online office hours, study sessions, class meetings… You can chat (type), speak with audio to the class, use a webcam to transmit your video to the group, show a PowerPoint, webpage, video, draw together on a whiteboard… You can also record the whole session with just a click, and paste the link to the recording in your online Canvas course for students who missed the session or for students who would like to review it. We will discuss: · Creating a session · Session settings · Optional components such as microphones, headsets, webcams, digital stylus/tablet · Browser security settings and other issues when connecting to a session · Hand raising · Polling · Responding to a poll question · Using emoticons to show laughter, confusion, applause, or disapproval · Chat · Whiteboard · Presenting a slideshow · Adjusting your audio and video settings · Desktop and application sharing, leading a webtour · Transferring files · Recording a session for students to view later · Online tutorials and resources to teach participants how to use Collaborate · Possible uses for teaching, conferences, office hours… NOTE: Elluminate Live! is now called "Collaborate."
