Creating a Standard Session
A standard Distance Learning session is one in which users are granted privileges—the privilege to present information, the privilege to chat, the privilege to turn on the mouse pointer and make its position visible to other users. Although users in a standard session have the privilege to present, only one user at a time can present, either by choosing Presentation > Present or by selecting Raise Hand and having the current presenter click Let Them Present.
This is suitable for interactive sessions, for example, document collaboration, and so on.
To create a standard session
- Navigate to the Session Administration screen as described in Navigating to the Session Administration Screen.
- In the Sessions list, click New Session.
The Schedule a New Session form appears.
- In the New Session form, enter the information requested in the fields.
Some of the fields are described in the following table:
Field Description Cluster Server ID Common number used to tie sessions on multiple servers. Typically, this is the ID number for the session. No need to use unless you are using cluster servers. Expected # of Attendees This number is only used to provide guidance, not to regulate the scheduling of sessions. Enable Show at Once Mode Select if using Show at Once. If not selected, delivers images in a tiling manner (from top left, across and down), but you will not be able to use the Show at Once feature. Require Password to Join Select this check box if you enter a password in the Session Administrator Password field, and you want to require that this password be used not only to delete and change a session, but also to join the session. Require Registration Select this check box if you want to require users to fill out a registration form before joining a session. For more information, see Creating a Registration Session. Session Administrator Password Password controls ability to delete or change this session and is optional for a standard session.
You must enter the password two times. Session Name Use only alphanumeric characters. Session Type Select Standard.- Click Save.
The Siebel Distance Learning application creates the session you described and the Sessions list appears.
Your new session should be listed, along with any other sessions that have already been created.
