Thursday, November 16, 2006, we held two training sessions for the campus contacts group with Zemina Hasham, the Senior Director, Client Services for Elluminate, Inc.

The agenda for the two hour sessions consisted of topics that we had brainstormed during an earlier session that we wanted more information on. We settled upon the following:

Overview of Elluminate Features

Technology

Mac suggestions

Microphone issues

What should we be using?

Capturing audio in a room

Voice bandwidth issues

Video capture

Changing between applications

Best Practices

What are other institutions doing?

Resources/training available

Student engagement with audio

Best uses of audio and chat

Facilitation guidelines

Case studies

Tutoring

Training

Recommendations (essential prep for faculty)

Computer testing program/checklist

Troubleshooting guidelines

The result was many of us having our jaw wide open as we learned about the capabilities of Elluminate Live! and the many ways that we can use it at Maricopa.
