00:00:01,160 –> 00:00:04,370
Well folks continuing on with the collaboration in

2
00:00:04,370 –> 00:00:07,190
canvas series. This time we’re looking at one of

3
00:00:07,190 –> 00:00:10,190
the video conferencing systems inside RMIT’s

4
00:00:10,200 –> 00:00:12,650
instance of canvas. And it’s called

5
00:00:12,680 –> 00:00:17,600
Collaborate Ultra. When you go into your course or

6
00:00:17,600 –> 00:00:19,580
any one of your courses you should see in the

7
00:00:19,580 –> 00:00:22,460
course navigation on the left a link to

8
00:00:22,760 –> 00:00:25,730
Collaborate Ultra. If you don’t see it in this

9
00:00:25,730 –> 00:00:29,120
list try going to settings and then clicking the

10
00:00:29,120 –> 00:00:32,180
navigation tab. Finding it in there and enabling

11
00:00:32,180 –> 00:00:35,030
it and then coming back to you From there click

12
00:00:35,360 –> 00:00:39,320
Collaborate Ultra. So this is a system for people

13
00:00:39,320 –> 00:00:42,740
to meet online live but you could also use it for

14
00:00:42,740 –> 00:00:46,040
what I’m doing right now on screen recording and

15
00:00:46,100 –> 00:00:49,220
recording presentations without people in the

16
00:00:49,220 –> 00:00:51,530
meeting necessarily. I’ll show you how to do that.

17
00:00:52,700 –> 00:00:54,730
When you open up Collaborate Ultra. By default

18
00:00:54,740 –> 00:00:58,790
there is a session called course room and by

19
00:00:58,790 –> 00:01:00,920
default it’s unlocked meaning it’s available to

20
00:01:00,920 –> 00:01:04,670
enter and you can get the launch link there or

21
00:01:04,670 –> 00:01:08,180
over here you can get a copy of the guest link if

22
00:01:08,180 –> 00:01:10,670
you want people to write email people the link to

23
00:01:10,670 –> 00:01:14,410
join the session edit the sessions for details

24
00:01:14,420 –> 00:01:17,510
they add to the settings for the session reports

25
00:01:17,810 –> 00:01:21,830
and then you can lock the course room copying the

26
00:01:21,830 –> 00:01:25,070
course link guest link is a handy little thing to

27
00:01:25,070 –> 00:01:28,880
know about there. Now this is just a permanently

28
00:01:28,880 –> 00:01:31,400
available room just like any physical room so

29
00:01:31,400 –> 00:01:35,300
you’d make a booking outside between people. So

30
00:01:35,330 –> 00:01:37,790
let’s meet in the course room at 6:00 p.m. tonight.

31
00:01:38,390 –> 00:01:41,180
People know either to go back to the link that

32
00:01:41,180 –> 00:01:43,830
they’ve been e-mailed before or click Collaborate

33
00:01:43,850 –> 00:01:45,170
Ultra and join the room here.

34
00:01:47,410 –> 00:01:50,260
If you want to create separate sessions for say

35
00:01:50,710 –> 00:01:54,430
small groups their own little meeting room or the

36
00:01:54,430 –> 00:01:58,450
studios for any other reason you can create

37
00:01:58,450 –> 00:02:02,550
separate sessions here. When you click that it

38
00:02:02,550 –> 00:02:04,980
comes up with asking you the name for the session

39
00:02:05,000 –> 00:02:09,360
the date. But like the course room you can click

40
00:02:09,390 –> 00:02:11,310
no end to this session and then it’s just a

41
00:02:11,310 –> 00:02:14,730
continuously available room to use

42
00:02:17,850 –> 00:02:22,050
like session settings. You can default everybody a

43
00:02:22,050 –> 00:02:24,660
participant or a presenter and other things in

44
00:02:24,660 –> 00:02:28,650
there. Well let’s join the course room to have a

45
00:02:28,650 –> 00:02:33,190
look at its features so collaborate ultra from

46
00:02:33,190 –> 00:02:35,240
that dashboard opens in a new tab.

47
00:02:37,940 –> 00:02:42,270
It takes a little while to load hide this away and

48
00:02:42,600 –> 00:02:45,600
conveniently conveniently. If you’re experienced

49
00:02:45,600 –> 00:02:48,840
with video conferencing systems by default you

50
00:02:49,170 –> 00:02:52,050
come into a room with your microphone muted and

51
00:02:52,050 –> 00:02:55,110
your video camera muted. So if you’ve experienced

52
00:02:55,110 –> 00:02:57,780
videoconferencing before online video conferencing

53
00:02:58,390 –> 00:03:01,260
people. When people come in sometimes a lot of

54
00:03:01,260 –> 00:03:03,630
background noise on their mind can be can be quite

55
00:03:03,630 –> 00:03:06,330
chaotic as the meeting gets started. So it’s good

56
00:03:06,330 –> 00:03:08,820
that the audio is muted by default but it also

57
00:03:08,820 –> 00:03:10,920
means that people need to know if they want to

58
00:03:10,920 –> 00:03:13,590
speak or want to be seen. They have to turn these

59
00:03:13,590 –> 00:03:13,890
on

60
00:03:16,170 –> 00:03:19,010
you a little button there is right hand to draw

61
00:03:19,010 –> 00:03:21,080
attention to yourself if there’s a presentation

62
00:03:21,080 –> 00:03:23,030
going on you can click that and it’ll send a being

63
00:03:23,030 –> 00:03:24,620
to the moderator and they know that you’ve got a

64
00:03:24,620 –> 00:03:28,560
question so outside of those main buttons they’re

65
00:03:29,100 –> 00:03:35,440
over on the right. We have a number of features by

66
00:03:35,440 –> 00:03:39,580
default is the brooms chat so you can send a chat

67
00:03:39,580 –> 00:03:43,360
message everybody gets that or you can send a

68
00:03:43,360 –> 00:03:46,120
message to individual attendees

69
00:03:48,880 –> 00:03:51,250
share content. Button has exposed a few other

70
00:03:51,250 –> 00:03:56,470
features we can load up a whiteboard to draw into

71
00:03:57,520 –> 00:03:59,620
or we can share an application and that’s where

72
00:03:59,620 –> 00:04:01,900
you would share a screen. So click share

73
00:04:01,900 –> 00:04:05,020
application you could share the entire screen or

74
00:04:05,020 –> 00:04:08,830
just a particular application window. And that’s

75
00:04:09,060 –> 00:04:11,940
that’s handy for a few recording lectures and

76
00:04:11,940 –> 00:04:15,610
presentations you might want to do that. Speaking

77
00:04:15,610 –> 00:04:17,680
of recording or the other things you share files

78
00:04:17,680 –> 00:04:21,460
pulling breakout groups but speaking recordings

79
00:04:22,980 –> 00:04:27,650
over left its main course room navigation. You can

80
00:04:27,650 –> 00:04:31,580
start the recording so theoretically you start the

81
00:04:31,580 –> 00:04:33,560
recording maybe a meeting or maybe it’s a

82
00:04:33,560 –> 00:04:37,700
presentation share application share and tie

83
00:04:37,700 –> 00:04:41,060
screen or just an application. And then when

84
00:04:41,060 –> 00:04:46,460
you’re finished you can stop recording

85
00:04:49,290 –> 00:04:52,200
and that will appear in the dashboard. The

86
00:04:52,200 –> 00:04:54,690
previous window we’re looking at I find after

87
00:04:54,690 –> 00:04:56,790
about an hour although I haven’t done a large

88
00:04:56,790 –> 00:04:59,700
recording. So generally speaking half an hour to

89
00:04:59,700 –> 00:05:01,200
an hour the recordings are available.

90
00:05:02,970 –> 00:05:04,710
Interestingly they have the feature of use of

91
00:05:04,710 –> 00:05:07,050
phones that people can join the meeting by phone

92
00:05:07,050 –> 00:05:09,810
number and enter this pin. I haven’t tried that

93
00:05:09,810 –> 00:05:12,810
app that’s handy looking feature and the rest are

94
00:05:12,810 –> 00:05:14,850
just blackboard collaborate help

95
00:05:17,310 –> 00:05:18,900
I think we didn’t finish looking at the other

96
00:05:18,900 –> 00:05:23,230
features here settings so these are just your

97
00:05:23,230 –> 00:05:25,180
personal settings and that’s where you can change

98
00:05:25,180 –> 00:05:28,900
your profile image which by default does come into

99
00:05:28,900 –> 00:05:33,400
the session turned on whereas the microphone and

100
00:05:33,400 –> 00:05:37,070
video are off. So that’s a little look at

101
00:05:37,460 –> 00:05:42,950
collaborate ultra a very simple elegant easy to

102
00:05:42,950 –> 00:05:45,590
use tool. We’re gonna have a look at those

103
00:05:45,590 –> 00:05:47,750
recordings. You need to access those you’ve got to

104
00:05:47,750 –> 00:05:51,340
leave the session. Prompts you for a little survey

105
00:05:51,340 –> 00:05:51,960
or skip that

106
00:05:55,040 –> 00:05:57,360
and in fact you don’t have to leave the session.

107
00:05:57,380 –> 00:05:59,540
You could just return back to the previous tab.

108
00:06:00,320 –> 00:06:02,390
And this is the dashboard for collaborate Ultra.

109
00:06:03,170 –> 00:06:06,500
You click the menu here and then you’ve got your

110
00:06:06,500 –> 00:06:10,720
recordings and the one I’ve just created isn’t yet

111
00:06:10,720 –> 00:06:13,060
available but the others that I have been creating

112
00:06:13,060 –> 00:06:15,520
are. And when you want to download that where

113
00:06:15,550 –> 00:06:17,440
you’ve got other options you can watch it now

114
00:06:17,860 –> 00:06:20,200
delete copy the link. Oh interesting that one is

115
00:06:20,200 –> 00:06:25,270
not available for download nor is that one okay.

116
00:06:25,330 –> 00:06:27,220
That’s something I didn’t realize. So it looks

117
00:06:27,220 –> 00:06:31,690
like the either the course room doesn’t make

118
00:06:31,690 –> 00:06:33,370
itself available to download

119
00:06:35,980 –> 00:06:40,810
because these sessions are sessions that are

120
00:06:40,810 –> 00:06:44,840
created Okay so that might make me want to come

121
00:06:44,840 –> 00:06:47,570
full circle around to checking out the. You can

122
00:06:47,570 –> 00:06:49,940
download the app before there and that’s useful

123
00:06:49,940 –> 00:06:51,890
for uploading to YouTube and things like that so

124
00:06:52,730 –> 00:06:54,170
let’s just go back and have a look at those

125
00:06:54,170 –> 00:06:58,350
session settings have a session settings for the

126
00:06:58,350 –> 00:06:59,310
course room.

127
00:07:07,850 –> 00:07:14,380
Allow recording downloads save that see if that’s

128
00:07:14,380 –> 00:07:17,560
changed the availability of the recordings already

129
00:07:17,560 –> 00:07:18,070
made

130
00:07:20,200 –> 00:07:24,010
it has. Okay so that’s quite simple. You go back

131
00:07:24,010 –> 00:07:26,680
to the sessions and just make sure by default the

132
00:07:26,820 –> 00:07:29,140
courtroom doesn’t allow for downloads. Even for me

133
00:07:29,140 –> 00:07:32,050
the teacher in this course. So you’re going to go

134
00:07:32,050 –> 00:07:34,390
into the settings to make them available download

135
00:07:34,390 –> 00:07:37,600
recordings and create a new session. Then just

136
00:07:37,600 –> 00:07:38,770
remember to take that as well.

137
00:07:41,200 –> 00:07:44,620
Okay let’s collaborate ultra online conferencing

138
00:07:44,680 –> 00:07:49,090
is very useful for meetings but as well for using

139
00:07:49,090 –> 00:07:51,670
it to record presentations and downloading the

140
00:07:51,670 –> 00:07:53,280
video and putting it up onto YouTube.
