New
features and dedicated rooms for sessions will
make your online educational experience more
enjoyable. Some tips for the new room are listed
below:
Upon
entering the Online Learning Center you will
now be taken to a Lobby. Once there you will
have a chat window and to your left you will
see a users list. At the top of this list there
will be a button that says
"Show Rooms". Click on this button.
Now
you will see a listing of all the available rooms
in the Online Learning Center. There will be
some with a key by them to indicate they are
password protected rooms. These are used for
offical NALS business. You will also see a room
titled "OnlineLearningCenter" which
will be used for all OLC session other than the
Online Study Group which will take place in the
room titled
"StudyGroup". These rooms are not password
protected and are open to the public.
To
go to a room simply double click on the name
in the "ShowRooms" window and you will
be taken to the desired room. You will see a
welcome message and a statement to tell you which
room you have entered.
Once
in the room you will see 9 icons along the bottom
of the chat window. These are many of the new
added features to the room. You may try them
out or just leave them alone and enjoy the session.
One that we recommend you use is the icon with
4 outward arrows. This will expand the chat window
and give you more screen room to enjoy the session.
Also when you click this icon, this page will
remain on the screen so you can continue to view
these instructions.
Those
attending an Online Learning Center education
session or an Online Study Group session will
still need to enter their email address into
the chat window so that a transcript of the session
can be sent to you.
Simply
enter your name and enjoy the session free of charge.
