Text From Tutoring Screen Explaining Features
Welcome to your online consultation! The consultation module is divided into a toolbar, a document collaboration whiteboard, and a text chat utility. It also includes options to draw and, if enabled, video and audio.
TOOLBAR: The toolbar is across the top of the screen. The icons on the left side allow you to work with a document's formatting, such as by making text bold. The icons on the right side provide options for using the online session and working with a document. The pencil icon opens a drawing screen, which allows you to draw on top of the whiteboard area. The two arrows icon allows you to upload a document to share the other participant in this consultation. Once the consultation is over, you can also use this option to save your document. The clock icon allows you to see a timeline or history of all of the changes to your document as this consultation has progressed. The question mark opens a section of the WCONLINE manual with general instructions for online meetings. The icon with a person symbol and a number allows you to type a different name (such as a nickname) and/or choose a color, as well as to see the name of the other participant in the session.
WHITEBOARD: The bulk of the screen, where this text is currently located, is the document collaboration whiteboard. Here, you can import, paste or type text. Changes made to text in this window are seen immediately by both individuals participating in the online consultation.
TEXT CHAT: The right side of the screen is a text-based chat area. Type in the box at the lower right to have a text conversation. The other participant in this consultation can see your text as you type. Press 'enter' or 'return' on your keyboard to have your complete comment/question show up in the chat column.
DRAWING FUNCTION: Using the pencil icon, draw on top of the document collaboration whiteboard. Diagrams, pictures, math problems, etc. are saved within your online session but do not appear in an exported document.
VIDEO/AUDIO CHAT, IF ENABLED: Click the 'start video/audio chat' link to open a video and/or audio chat area, and then follow the steps to start using video and audio.
Even if you leave your online consultation, your chat and document session will stay here. You can always come back by viewing your appointment and clicking the 'start or join online consultation' link.
If you have any questions, click the question mark at the top right for more information.
