Online Professional Learning 28th January: Links and information

January 22, 2014 by wmacpherson

Thank you for registering for our online professional learning sessions in the Virtual Conference Centre. Please find links to sessions below. A number of participants have registered for concurrent sessions. Please decide which session you will attend rather than chopping and changing once sessions are underway. Remember that all sessions are being recorded and links will be published on this page on Wednesday 29th January

Please run some checks on your computer so that you are confident of your ability to connect to Blackboard Collaborate well in advance of Tuesday 28th January. You will need a headset with microphone if you wish to participate fully, however you will be able to view and listen to the presentation using your computer and speakers and join the conversation using the online chat system.

 Go to the Blackboard Collaborate page of the DEECD Virtual Conferencing webpages.  

  • You will be able to check whether you have Java installed on your computer.
  • Test your connection and if you are able to access the training room your system is correctly configured.
  • Whilst you are in the training room, set up your microphone headset or speakers using the Audio Set-up Wizard.

The Blackboard Collaborate Orientation Guide will step you through how to prepare for your first Blackboard Collaborate web conference.

 You will be able to click on the session links 30 minutes prior to the advertised starting time.
