Online Lecture Guide

1. Check the preparation and orientation steps in the Elluminate Product Support guide, so that you're familiar with the "Elluminate" program, and to make sure your computer is ready.
2. If you are not in the classroom during a live session, then make sure your computer speakers are on and the volume turned up enough.
3. When you click on a Lecture link, you'll get a dialog box requesting your User Name and Password.
4. Enter the User Name and Password you chose when you performed your CATE system check-in. If you don't remember it, use the CATE Password Reminder page.
5. Read the description on the next page, and then click the "Launch..." link.
6. The Java program "Elluminate" then downloads and runs.
   • If you see a page titled "Install Java Web Start", try just moving down to Step 2 on the page and clicking the "Start Elluminate Live" button. If that doesn't work, you may need to download Java first, using Step 1 on that page.
   • If you see a "License Agreement" dialog box, click Agree and OK to proceed.
7. Maximize the Elluminate program window to make it full-screen.
8. The session should start automatically.
9. If you are playing back a recording, you'll find controls at the bottom of the window.
   • To advance or rewind the recording, drag the track seek slider right or left.
   • BUT NOTE: When you try to rewind by dragging the slider back to the left, you may have to endure a delay, because the Elluminate program may reload the recording and advance from the start.
10. Closed Captioning Written Transcripts: The lectures include a Closed Captioning window, which you can display by clicking the "CC" button at the top of the Elluminate program window.
• While running the session, you may be able to save time by turning on the "CC" closed caption button, and reading or copying the transcripts.
• The Closed Captioning function displays the text in real time, approximately synchronized with the audio. You have to start the recording at the beginning, and immediately click the CC button to open the text window. You'll see the text begin to appear. Then, you can drag the slider to the right to fast-forward, and see the text appear rapidly in the window as the recording catches up. Once the text appears, you can copy and paste it into another document window.
11. When you're done with the session, exit or quit the Elluminate program as you would with any other program.
