March 17, 2010

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hopefully with the sun we are seeing here in Minnesota that means there will be a touch of green in the grass soon too.

As you continue working on your new course developments, please also continue to be thinking of ways to incorporate audio presentations into your courses. Please remember that I'd like to see a minimum of 3 audio lectures/presentations in your development projects.

The resource I'd like to discuss this week as an audio option is Elluminate Live! Many of you are familiar with this resource as it is the Webinar format used for online faculty meetings. But have you thought about using this resource as part of a lecture or even as part of a course assignment option where students do a presentation themselves? While it may be problematic to require students to complete their own Elluminate session, offering it as an assignment option is a great opportunity and students have responded really well to this choice when it has been given to them.

The following links will guide you through the process of getting starting with doing your own Elluminate Live! recorded presentation as well as directions on how to direct students to use this tool.

Click here to view how you as the developer or how an instructor would access and use Elluminate Live to record a presentation.

Please click here for a short demonstration on how students would use Elluminate Live

One important note when recording Elluminate Live! sessions, you will need to select "Share" or "Public" when setting up your parameters so that it can be easily copied when courses are copied for future quarters.

If you have any questions on how to use this resource, please don't hesitate to ask.

Have a great rest of the week, and once again, Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Heather
