INTRODUCTION TO ELLUMINATE LIVE

This tutorial is designed to help you better understand how to use the Elluminate Live classroom. One of the best things you can do is to go into the classroom and “play” with features before class.

Your instructor may have to give you moderator privileges for some things. Speak to him or her about your particular class.
