3c. The Collaborate Ultra Room - The Session Menu with a Focus on the Room Recording (18:31)
This video looks at the Collaborate Ultra Room's Session menu, but the focus is on the Room Recording.
· We see what a session looks like from the Instructor's view, the Student's view, and the Room Recording.
· The video shows Recorded views of Files, Sharing the Screen, Sharing a Google Tab, and sharing files into Breakout Rooms.
--A caution is given that if an instructor ENTERS a Breakout Room during a Room Recording, the recording STOPS.
--A suggestion is made that for many purposes Sharing a Screen, App, or Tab may be more effective than Sharing Files.
· Also viewed are the Reports available and downloading the Room Recording.
