How to Participate in aDePaul Quad Live Session
This presentation will walk you through the steps you will need to take to participate in a DePaul Quad Live Session.
Beginning in January 2010, DePaul Live Sessions will be webcast using Wimba Classroom Technology, an online distance-learning program . It is used by some DePaul faculty and staff to teach classes without the geographic limitations of a traditional classroom.
It is also a great tool that allows us to present Live Sessions to DePaul Quad members.
How to Participate in aDePaul Quad Live Session
To participate in a Live Sessions, be sure you have first prepared your computer by installing Wimba Classroom.
The steps to install Wimba Classroom are outlined in the tutorial “DePaul Quad Live Session Setup”. We recommend viewing the setup tutorial before this one.
If you have already installed Wimba Classroom, please proceed through this presentation for a brief orientation to the online classroom.

Make sure your web browser’s pop-up blocker is turned OFF.
Select the orange “Participant Login” button.

Under the first section labeled “Participant Login”, enter your first and last name in the box that says “Name” and then select “Enter”.
Disregard the section at the bottom. This is for presenters only. You will not need to enter your DePaul Quad username and password to participate in the Live Sessions.

If you do not see the video, click once on the video camera icon on the tool bar near the bottom of the screen. The video window should appear shortly.

The speaker icon has 3 bars next to it that will light up when the presenter is talking.
If you see these bars are lit up, but you cannot hear the presenter, first check the volume of your computer and try to make an adjustment to hear the presenter.
