STEPS TO CREATING LAYOUTS
• Click the + sign in the bottom right corner of the room, bottom of Layout area.
• Decide to Create New Layout or Copy an existing one -- may be helpful to copy an existing one in presentations where you flip back and forth between videos/polls/etc.
• To add pods, click the Pod button at the top of the screen and select the desired pod.
• You can use pods from other layouts, they will display if there is an arrow to the right of the pod category.
• Consider keeping the Video/Camera pod up in all layouts, except for when
showing a movie or animated clip (these are uploaded to a Share pod as .flv or .mp4 files).
• Attendees should be kept up in most pods as well. • NOTE: if you need to create a layout during a session, use Prepare mode by
clicking the wrench/screwdriver next to the + sign. The screen will highlight in yellow and the students are unable to see what you're doing.
LECTURE LAYOUT STRUCTURE
In each lecture session, consider the following layout structure:• Lobby -- for when students enter the room each time (includes Share pod with
schedule, notes on live sessions/call-in info, Chat, Video, Attendees).• Presentation -- for your main PPT or document sharing, even Desktop sharing. example title: Mod2 Presentation• Polls -- add all your polls to one layout, open each individually (you can add
notes in the PPT files for when to go to a poll). example title: Mod2 Q• Video -- include only a Share pod with the Chat pod. Maximize Share pod so the
video is viewable. example title: Mod2 Video• Collaboration -- at the end of a presentation, include Weblinks, Pods, Video,
Attendees, Chat, and possibly Share with some follow-up steps for students after the session.
example title: Mod2 Follow-up• Attendance -- include a dedicated Attendance Chat (separate from Main Chat),
Attendees pod, Camera/Video, and Q&A for final questions.
