4. Content Management and Classroom Capture Tools
- Load presentation content
- Supported types: .ppt, .pptx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tif, .sxi, .odp
- Keynote not supported
- Multimedia components (i.e. transitions, animations, clickable URLs) lost when uploaded to Elluminate Live!‘s whiteboard. Workaround – create multiple slides.
- Choose “Better Quality” for PPT and “Canvas Size”
- Tips: Avoid lengthy slides, lecturing too long, being the only speaker. Create interactive slides for participants to be involved, break up lecture into shorter time with activities in-between, have participants contribute ideas, lead session, etc.
Practice: Load your PPT slides (poll slides). Before you moderate, ask yourself: What type of poll? Is this a hidden poll? Is this a timed poll? Do you want to lock in answers? Do I know how to use the necessary tools to moderate this poll? Moderate your poll with the class as Participants. Publish the results. Follow-up poll with discussion or extension.
- Saving whiteboards
- Notes – notetaking and accessibility
