6 The Live elearning Interface cont Feedback Toolbar The Live elearning environment can be very challenging for an instructor. Unlike the classroom environment, they don t have the same opportunities to read body language cues. With the Live elearning interface you can provide feedback by clicking one of the icons on the Participants panel. The response icon appears to the right of your name. You can remove the icon by clicking it again. We thrive on feedback, so use these tools frequently. The Feedback Toolbar: Icon Method of use Click if the presenter asks for a show of hands in response to a question or if you have a question. Click to indicate yes in response to a question. Click to indicate no in response to a question. Click to indicate to the presenter to slow down his or her pacing. Click to indicate to the presenter to speed up his or her Pacing. Click to open the Emoticons palette on which you can use an emoticon to express yourself. Click the icon to clear all feedback (attendee only). Be Engaged Unless you notify the instructor, they don t know what you need. Raise your hand, ask questions, and be interactive and engaged throughout the session. Be Warned! When you click away from the Webex screen, a little icon appears next to your name notifying the instructor that you re no longer giving them your full attention. If this happens, be prepared that the next person they ask to answer a question will likely be you! Page 6 of 7
