Hi everyone! Just wondering why people would use this option. What are the advantages over the previous event bookings? Does it mean you get a moderator link of your own, or why wouldnt you use the normal ways of booking events? Will these be advertised, as the other events are? Sorry, been a long week at school and 'me no comprehend!'
This is just the normal Host-Your-Own process we're talking about here, so I think it must just have seemed to you it was another discussion. The original thread is over a year old... :)
We had a session yesterday (8/26/2010) at 3:30pm EST but is not showing up on the play list yet. How long does it normally take to show up?
It would normally have shown up by now, but I can tell you what I think happened. I just went into the Elluminate host-your-own room and there was someone still logged into the session. As long as there is someone in the room, the recording doesn't process. I just removed here, and hopefully that recording will show up soon! Let me know if you don't see it by the end of the day.
Hi Steve - I never even thought to check that somebody might still be logged in! Thanks so much - Kim
Gay you have not booked a space on the Learn Central Elluminate Room. You need to book an event in this group. Go to Events section of this group and create a new event. Make sure that you have the correct access link showing in your event information as indicated in the instructions. When you set up your event, the link to access your event defaults to your vroom access link. Choose the time using the 24 hour clock. The time will be posted in your time zone and adjusted in other people's calendar. Book the room for your hour session and be sure to leave the room no more than 30 min after your booked time in the event another group is scheduled after you. You need to do that so you can get the recording for just your session. The first time I lead a meeting we ended up with 4 hours of recording to edit. I was confused about all of this. Thanks to Kim and Peggy and Steve I muddled through. Be sure to email Steve for your moderator link to your session. It is not the same as the link that you give to participants. Hope that helps. Some one correct me, if I missed something.
Thanks, Tammy. Forwarding on.
I have scheduled an event in the free room for Feb 16th - the purpose is to teach parents how to use free online e-newsletter tools to communicate with parents in their school communities.
I followed the instructions above and I have 10 people to invite so far...
I have a few questions... have I booked the correct room?
And how can I make sure the invitation is for the correct time when I have reserved the room half an hour prior to start time. (The one I sent myself had the wrong start time) Any help appreciated,
Gay
Ok, I have set up 9 session of Moodle for Teachers into the Jully and August calendar on Mondays and Fridays.
I had a little problem with the Friday times though. The scheduler would not let me enter 13:00 pm so that the event time would be 1pm Central. (Note that Mondays are 10am and the am times entered fine). Right now all the times are incorrectly showing as 1am Central for the Friday ones. What do we need to do next to get the pm time instead of am?
Thanks to you Steve and to the rest of the Elluminate staff for offering LearnCentral and the meeting room. It will give those "grass roots and up" types a way to share as well as those who are well established on the scene of educational training and webinars. :0)
Update to that pm time problem. I discovered that if you type in the time it will let you do the pm times. It is the drop down menu that is not working to select the times. I am manually updating my Friday times now, so they will not need to be corrected. Programmers may need to take a look at the drop down's functionality. I am using Firefox and Vista 64 if it may matter.
