Support & familiarisation

Here is a simple guide, and link to a 'Sandbox Meeting Space' where everyone has moderator privileges, and allows to adjust the Audio settings (essential for a Webconference).

To access the Audio settings wizard, after Elluminate is launched, go to Tools-->Audio-->Audio Wizard. There is where you can select which microphone or speaker Elluminate will use (most setup problems can be resolved and tested by the Audio Wizard). Remember! Please use a headset with attached microphone rather than speakers and a free standing microphone, which will cause feedback when you speak.

Whole week activities: Dragons' Den

The aim is to provide feedback on project ideas (not draft proposal) so you can improve your ideas, producing better proposals and hopefully improving your success in bidding.

During the conference weeks we want to explore two approaches
1. A virtual Dragons Den using Elluminate - to book a slot (see below) please email Paul Bailey
2. Feedback on ideas using the Moodle assignment function - submit you ideas below.

Dragons' Den Will be available to feed back on ideas for:
  • Benefits Realisation small projects funding round
  • JISC Circular 04/2008 Learning and Teaching Innovations Projects (to be confirmed)

It is important to note that the Dragons can only give advice and comment based on their knowledge and experience, they do not speak for the JISC or any other funding body

Whole week activities: User Engagement Stories

The aim of these Moodle activities is to reflect on user engagement as a community practice. There is a wiki to share stories of user engagement and a short reflective quiz to stimulate thought. We will be using the stories to inform discussion during the User Engagement day on 25 April and the ongoing development of community practice.
