Please join us today (and every Tuesday at 12pm or 7pm), from your office or from anywhere on the Internet, for a series of short 30-minute faculty-focused interactive Webcasts on teaching and learning technology, and on other uses of technology in the university.
Today's 12pm interactive ITL Webcast will be on:
Faculty Frequently Asked Questions at the Beginning of the Semester
Presenter: Ed Garay, ACCC Instructional Technology Lab (ITL)
Attending Interactive ITL Webcasts
To attend today's 12pm ITL Webcast, click the following URL (about fifteen minutes before the hour) to join the Centra (aka ACCC e-Rooms) Webinar.
Please make sure your Windows or Mac Web browser is configured to allow Java and pop-up windows. The first time you use the UIC Centra Web conferencing system, a very small Saba Centra java program will be installed on your personal computer. After the Centra java applet is installed, the Centra Audio Wizard will run to make sure your computer speakers are working correctly.
Check your personal computer speakers or headphones
You can run the Audio Wizard at any time after you have joined a Centra Webinar to make sure your computer speakers or headphones are working correctly -- you will need them to hear the presentation. Select Audio Wizard... from the Tools pull-down menu atop the Centra Web browser window.
Asking questions during the Webinar
To ask questions during the interactive ITL Webcast, please type them in the Textchat. Open the Textchat by selecting Text Chat... from the Tools pull-down menu. Type your question and hit send; minimize the Textchat window to continue seeing the Webinar. Re-open the Textchat and type additional questions. The presenter will stop from time to time to read your questions and answer them.
Getting help to participate in ITL Webcasts
