A quick tutorial on how to Schedule a Collaborate session.

1. Scheduling a Collaborate session
in ANGEL

2. Begin on your ANGEL course homepage.
The Elluminate Live! nugget is the Collaborate nugget that we will be using throughout this presentation.
Students can then search for the desired session. They insert a date in the boxes above and click “Go”.
Students are able to search for sessions within this nugget. The student will need to click
on Live or Recordings indicating which they are searching for.

3. To begin creating a session in ANGEL, click on the pencil icon that appears when you mouse inside the
nugget.
This will take you to the Session Editor
The session editor allows you
to search for sessions the
same way a student can in
the nugget. ** Remember,
you must select Live or
Recordings BEFORE clicking
on “Go”.

4. From the session editor you will click on “Add Session” to schedule a new Collaborate session.
This will take you to the next section of the Session Editor, it contains 4 tabs to review.

6. Session name is a required field. It can be a generic name that
can be changed later for a more specific purpose.

7. The date can be added by clicking on the
calendar icon and selecting the date of your
first session. Remember, if you are creating a
session that will repeat, you will have to select
an end date.

8. When scheduling the time in the Session Editor, it
MUST be scheduled according to Eastern Standard
Time (EST). You will also need to take Daylight
Savings Time (DST) into consideration.
If you do not put the time in this section of
scheduling as EST, you will get an Error
message when you try to create your
session.

This repeat option allows you to create a session for the whole semester. If
your first date is a Monday, and you repeat weekly, it will put a session on
every Monday until your end date. You will need to create a new session for
another day of the week if needed.

10. 5
When you click the “Save To Calendar” it will place a reminder on the
ANGEL calendar and the time displayed will be MST. Your students will
also see the session listed on their homepage in MST.

11. Tab 2 - Session Access
Session Access is the amount of time BEFORE a session begins
that students can enter early.

12. Tab 3 - Moderators & Participants

1
Restrict Participants
gives the instructor the
ability to restrict a sub-
group of the
participants from the
Collaborate session.
Not pertinent to most
MCC classes.
2
All moderators allows
the instructor to make
everyone in the class a
moderator.
3 If you need to make
a few students
moderators and leave
others as participants you
can manipulate that here,
if you do nothing on this
tab, everyone will be
participants and you will
be moderator.

13. Tab 3 - Session Attributes

1 Recording
mode is for
manual start of
recording by you
or an automatic
start by
Collaborate as
soon as you log
on.
2 Maximum
Simultaneous
Talkers refers to
the number of
people who can
talk at the same
time during the
Collaborate class.
3 The last three
attributes can be
controlled within
Collaborate, but if
you wish to mark
them here you can.
**Supervised refers
to private
messaging in the
Chat box, it allows
you to see all
private messages.
**All permissions, enables audio, video, and chat box for participants upon entry into
the Collaborate session.
**Raise Hand on Entry give you a signal when participants enter the session.

14. Once you have finished with the tabs, you can now click the “Create” button!

15. If you did everything correctly you will
see this screen. It is not critical for you
to send an email to every student, it
will be visible on their ANGEL calendar
and on their ANGEL homepage. So,
just click “Continue without sending
confirmation email”.
There is a possibility of getting an
error message, so let’s look at those
now.

16. This message will appear if you tried to create a session where you did not use EST or you did not take
Daylight Savings Time into account. Double check those times and click “Create” again.

17. Stop and double check that end date. If you are creating a repeating
session the end date must be later than the start date.

18. Oops! You forgot the Session Name. Easy Fix!

19. You have created a
Collaborate session in
