Three Options for Recording Elluminate Events
... Wed, 13 May 2009 19:37:06 +0000
Most LINGOs members know a lot about Eluminate and are aware that Elluminate Live sessions can be recorded and played back.   The record and playback capability enables those who missed a session to view it at their leisure and allows the creation of sessions to be delivered asynchronously.  All of the audio, video, public direct [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lingos.wordpress.com&blog=3773437&post=174&subd=lingos&ref=&feed=1" />
Resolving Feedback Problems in Elluminate Live!
... Tue, 05 May 2009 05:39:15 +0000
Audio Feedback in Elluminate Live! is almost always caused by having more than one microphone and/or set of speakers operating at the same time. This usually happens in one of several scenarios: if more than one computer in the same room is logged in to Elluminate (such as in a lab or classroom setting). Elluminate automatically mutes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lingos.wordpress.com&blog=3773437&post=170&subd=lingos&ref=&feed=1" />

This week, as the e-Learning Guild Annual Gathering comes to a close, it provides a great occasion to revisit some of the especially valuable tools made available to LINGOs member agencies through our relationship with the e-Learning Guild.  As many are already aware, LINGOs member agencies receive one Premium Membership to the Guild  (a $1,800 value.)  While the premium membership provides [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lingos.wordpress.com&blog=3773437&post=167&subd=lingos&ref=&feed=1" />

LINGOs is completing a series of conversations with key stakeholders from our member agencies.  These discussions, formally entitled account reviews, are an opportunity for member agencies  to reflect on their accomplishments in CY2008 and to outline their goals for cy2009.  One of the observations coming out of these discussions is the large number of LINGOs agencies [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lingos.wordpress.com&blog=3773437&post=162&subd=lingos&ref=&feed=1" />
Are you an Articulate Guru?

As we continue the process of updating LINGOS member licenses to Articulate Rapid e-Learning Suite v2009, we thought this would be a good time to invite LINGOs member agencies to share their abundant talents with the larger Articulate Community.  This can be done in one of two ways: 1.  The Articulate Team is hosting the Articulate [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lingos.wordpress.com&blog=3773437&post=156&subd=lingos&ref=&feed=1" />

Integrating Virtual Worlds into Your Training
... Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:09:33 +0000
Over the past two years, there has been much interest expressed in the integration of virtual world applications like Second Life into training activities.  A couple of interesting articles crossed my desk this week that explore two innovative (yet distinctly different) approaches to this question. The first case study comes from Harvard Law School, where a father/daughter [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lingos.wordpress.com&blog=3773437&post=133&subd=lingos&ref=&feed=1" />

LINGOs Learning Tools Blog - Latest Post

subscribe >

In the last Learning Tools Blog post, I presented statistics illustrating the rapid pace at which LINGOs member organizations have adopted Elluminate Live for on-line synchronous training. One of the ways LINGOs supports agencies as they adopt synchronous on-line learning, is through our work with the Elluminate company to identify a variety of learning resources that enhance the capacity of staff who attend and lead on-line synchronous training.

These learning resources fall into the following general categories:

Elluminate Live! Participants can visit the Elluminate Support Site

• to complete an on-line orientation program
• to view the recorded Elluminate Participant training webinar
• to access quick reference guides and tools
• to check their system configuration compatibility for the Elluminate product.

Elluminate Moderators can

• Participate in four different live webinars that Elluminate schedules on a regular basis to learn how to use the many features of Elluminate Live!

• View recorded videos (averaging 4-10 minutes each) that instruct moderators on how to use the most common features of Elluminate Live!
• Visit the Elluminate Support Ste to access resources, tools and technical information to support Elluminate Moderators

On-Line Curriculum Designers and On-Line Facilititors

· Can attend LINGOs' On-line Virtual Mastery Series which introduces best practices for designing and facilitating courses in the on-line synchronous environment.

Elluminate Troubleshooting is another area in which moderators will inevitably need to develop skills. As a frequent moderator of Elluminate sessions, many times I have found myself In the position where a participant is unable to fully participate in an event due to problems with bandwidth, audio, Java plug-ins, systems compatibility and/or firewalls. To address these challenges, Elluminate moderators need to develop skills to identify and address some of the most common problems encountered when when managing on-line events.

Over the next six months, LINGOs and Elluminate are collaborating closely to develop troubleshooting resources that help moderators analyze and resolve these challenges. As one of the first steps in this process, LINGOs will host a webinar on June 12, 2008, entitled Are You a Skilled Elluminate TroubleShooter? (for details on this event click here) This webinar is highly recommended to all Elluminate Moderators, as it will include a number of practical tips that can be used immediately.

In addition to the upcoming webinar, Elluminate has documented solutions to the most frequently occurring technical problems on their Help Desk Website and LINGOs is documenting the most useful troubleshooting tips on its Elluminate Workspace.

UPCOMING OUTSTART TRAINER WEBCAST

LINGOs' partner, Outstart, is hosting a Live Webcast: Rapidly Developing e-Courses with Impact, Using OutStart Trainer. The Trainer authoring tool provides the capacity to develop rich learning content without programming; with the potential to easily add Flash, audio, video or streaming media and more.

	As far as I'm concerned, distance, funds and visa problems are no longer a limit to the aquisition of knowledge. Since the Finance on-line course, I've decided to use this mode as one of my favourite means of aquiring knowledge and building more on my efficiency and effectiveness as a productive staff.
