you as well so that you can check their audio.

first join the session. They can check their settings from the
Session menu.
- Assign privileges to participants as appropriate.

overview of the interface including how to raise their hand and how to send a direct Message.
During the Session
- Speak clearly and don’t rush.
- Animate your delivery. You must use your voice to project energy and enthusiasm into your delivery.
- Visualize your participants. Consider using Live Video for
introductions or encourage them to setup their User Profile and
include a picture.
- Look at the whole screen, not just the whiteboard area. For
example, watch the direct messaging window for text messages
and the participants window for new participants joining the
session.
- Watch the activity indicators in the participants window to know if
participants are encountering any delays in receiving data such as
audio or the whiteboard content. Adjust the pace of you session
accordingly.

question or comment.
- Ask questions and provide opportunity for interaction. Provide
specific instructions on how participants should respond: use the
polling responses or by raising their hand.
- Poll the participants at various intervals to obtain feedback. View
the polling summary as needed. Consider sharing the results when
appropriate. Clear responses after each poll.
- Use the whiteboard tools to assist you in your delivery. For
example, use the Highlighter to call attention to specific regions on
the screen. Try to provide some mark up for each screen.
- Include features such as Application Sharing, Web Push, Breakout
Rooms, Multimedia, Web Tour, or Quizzes to assist you in delivering
your content and making the sessions more engaging and
interactive.
- Remind participants that, when in a breakout room, they can raise
their hand to notify you that they have a question or send you a
private text message even if you are not in the room.
At the End of the Session
- Thank participants for their attendance.
- Stop the session recorder.
- If you have not protected the whiteboard screens, save or print
them.
