  11. Check List • Test your audio and video with a partner or on two computers • Learn how to change status of students (in case you want them to speak) • Know how to resize and position all pods • Learn how to share documents from desktop and make them visible to students • Upload PowerPoint to a share pod • When encountering echo, check the following areas: • Make sure no duplicated names in the attendee list • Run audio setup wizard • Logout and restart the browser • Have speakers hold down the “talk” button to talk

  12. Check List 2 • When seeing multiple names of same person, ask them to quit the browser, not just logout of Adobe Connect, and then login back to the meeting room.  • Record the session for people who missed the session and learn how to retrieve the recording • Create breakout sessions for small group discussion and assign students to break out rooms
