Welcome to Elluminate 13 August 2008

Overall What is it? Use to date Using Elluminate in Plan The Future –Regular meetings –Webinars –Developing training –Linking to sharepoint – scheduling sessions, recording links –Potential use in promoting PALS (incl. PPM use) / Programme Effectiveness Framework / Global Programme Framework

Using it Setting up a meeting –Katrina’s in charge! –Send Preparing participants** –Encourage steps 1 and 2 at least –Need microphone and speakers (a headset!) and internet access Logging on

Holding a meeting Moderator rights –2 facilitators Testing microphone –Allow multiple speakers –Controlling microphone Recording meeting Uploading presentations Ways of communicating –Talking – raising hands –Chat –Whiteboard / Powerpoint –Emotions! Sharing applications –Switching between applications

Other bits Away from session –Timer Save Chat Stop Recording –Recording link Closing meeting Other other bits (don’t know how to do) –File transfer –Polling –Create breakout rooms

Experiences Sometimes microphone doesn’t work –Log off and on Uploading multiple powerpoints have resulted in slides appearing in different orders People get thrown out Solo facilitation can get confusing! Beware meeting times Interaction is important MAXIMUM 3 hours!!!
