Elluminate Live Moderator Tips

The following list is an ongoing collection of tips and best practices collected by the UCLA Elluminate user community

  • It is helpful if the presenter repeats questions before answering them
  • If the moderator has dual monitors only the primary monitor can be shared/displayed
  • Participant profiles can be hidden from within the Elluminate session tools
  • The whiteboard shouldn’t be used for higher resolution presentations, its better to use application sharing with Powerpoint natively
  • Group editing is best done via application sharing of Word rather than with the Whiteboard as it can be awkward to edit the whiteboard text.
  • For application sharing users have found Firefox to be preferable to IE or Safari
  • Presenter or primary source of the webinar should be on a wired connection (not wireless) if possible.
  • If possible, setup teleconferencing as a backup option for users without microphones. Elluminate is compatible with UCLA’s Copper Conferencing service.
  • Using the Web Tour tool within Elluminate and browsing to YouTube is a good way to playback video or audio clips for your webinar audience.
