Elluminate/Adobe discussions

(Synchronous online discussions)

Click on names then 'open' to see flyer if there is one online and click on title to go to a recording of the presentation.

|||||  SPECIAL NOTICE |||||

All of the sound recordings are in the archives on the platform Elluminate. The link will lead you to the platform and you will then need to allow the site to download Java and an Elluminate file. Please don't be worried, and be patient.

Here is a link to a screencast taking you through the process of accessing the Webheads Virtual Office in Learning times on Elluminate where most of the online presentations are archived.

Screencast - How to get to Webheads Virtual Office

And be patient again for the time it takes for Elluminate to recover the sound file. Sound files are great, but they are large.
