Preparing
for Class
getting ready in advance
PTI
ONLINE CLASSES:
C1/C2 Basic Airsmith
Single Certifications
Business & Marketing
A day or two prior to the actual
class, we require a "test run"
so that you can be sure you and
your computer are prepared for
class. This gives everyone extra
time to take care of any
unexpected problems, in addition
to getting familiar with the
layout and tools available in
Microsoft LiveMeeting.
This saves a significant amount
of time the morning of class.
If there are no problems, this
process only takes about 10
minutes. Please let us
know if you do not receive the
e-mail invitations to both the
test run and the class itself.

supplies,

You will also be e-mailed a link
to the class manual. You
will need to print off a full
copy of the manual and have it
beside you when class begins.
Step-by-step instructions
for connecting to & navigating
Microsoft
LiveMeeting
You can click on any of these
images to see them full screen.
• You will
be sent links via e-mail to join
a Microsoft LiveMeeting online
session for a date and time
prior to the actual class (it
will be a separate invitation
from the class session).
•
Click on
the link provided, and
first-time LiveMeeting users
will be prompted to download the
FREE software required.
• Scroll
down and click on "Accept,
Install, and Join."
• You will
get a window asking if you wish
to Run or Save this file.
Click "Run."
• The
"LMSetup.exe" file will download
in about 30 seconds.
• You will
get another window asking if you
would like to run the software.
Click "Run."
• The
software will then install to
your computer. This should
only take about a minute.
• When the
download is complete, the
LiveMeeting session window will
attempt to open. More than
likely, your browser will
prevent this, and you will have
to click on "Download File."
• You will
then get the meeting loading
screen.
• Before
entering the meeting you will be
required to enter your name, e-mail address,
and company name.
• When you
join the meeting, you will see a
welcome screen and streaming
video and you should also hear
the streaming audio.
• You will need to set up your
personal "Contact Card."
Click on "Attendees" in the
upper left, find your name,
click the arrow, and click
"Edit." You will use your
cropped headshot for this.
• You can click and drag both
the Attendees list and the Audio
& Voice panel anywhere on your
screen.
• If you have a question that
doesn't have to be addressed
immediately you can post it to
the Q&A section. Click the
"Q&A" button, type your
question, and hit Enter.
(Urgent questions are addressed
further down).
• You can toggle your Audio,
Microphone, & Webcam On/Off at
any time by using the
corresponding icons in the upper
right. It will be
necessary for most people to
mute their microphones during
class to prevent unwanted
background noise.
• Different classes will have
various handouts. These
will be available for download
under the "Handouts" icon in the
upper right.
• If you need the teacher to
Slow Down, Stop, or if you have
a question or can't hear, use
the icons under the "Feedback"
section in the upper right to
signal these issues.
Otherwise your icon should be
set to the green "Proceed"
triangle.
• During class, you will be
better able to see the material
being presented by the teacher
while viewing it in "Full Screen
Mode." To switch to Full
Screen Mode, click the icon on
the bottom right.
• You can open a private instant
message/chat window with anyone
in the meeting. In the
Attendees list, right-click the
name of the person you wish to
type to and select "Chat."
In the same menu, you can block
chats and view others' Contact
Cards.
