Dear Students,
You may use your laptop or tablet or
smartphone to login to ODCVLE portal (https://vle.omandentalcollege.org). Please make sure you are
connected with internet that has good bandwidth to support live video
streaming.
It is recommended that you use either the Chrome or Firefox browser.
Please take few minutes to watch this video to understand the live webinar
interface:
After ensuring your device is connected to internet, please
follow these steps:
1. Login to https://vle.omandentalcollege.org, using your student number as username (eg bdsf1234) and your password.
2. Open the Webinar Schedule available here: https://vle.omandentalcollege.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=15
3. Then click at the webinar link of that particular day, time and subject.
4. It will take you to corresponding webinar page as below:
5. When the faculty is available during the given timing, you will see a ‘Join Session’ button:
6. The above ‘Join Session’ button will appear only during the scheduled time. During other
times it will be inactive. In case if you access this after the webinar timing,
you will see recorded version of the Webinar.
7. A new window
should open that will take you right into the live Webinar interface, provided
the event has already started.
8. The first dialogue box will ask you how you want to join the audio, whether via a microphone or “Listen only.” Choose “Microphone” if you have an external microphone built into your computer or your webcam. Choose “Listen only” if you have no microphone. Note: you might have to give your browser permission to use your microphone. Choose “Allow.”
9. The next dialogue box will be an audio testing box for your to speak and test.
10. If you can hear audio when you speak, click Yes. This should cause you to join the audio, which will be indicated with a green checkmark on the headphones icon in the lower left hand corner of your screen. It is very important that you use HEADPHONES for the live event rather than your computer speakers.
You will be able to access the Live Webinar interface like below now:
11. Now that your
audio is set up, you will see on the left hand side of the screen a dialogue
box titled “users.” You should see your name on this list. Next to your name
there should be a microphone icon. You may click on this icon to mute and
unmute yourself. If you are not speaking, you should mute yourself to cut down
on overall background noise in the event.
12. Back in the lower
left hand side of your screen you will see an icon of a mic, webcam etc.
13. If you wish to
ask a question or make a response of some kind, you must click the hand icon in
the bottom left-hand corner of the “users” dialogue box. Your status will then
display as having a raised hand. The teacher will see that your hand is raised,
and when he or she is ready they will “call on you” by unmuting you, allowing
you to speak.
14. If audio and/or
video are not functioning well, you also have the option of typing in your
questions and responses in the messenger box on the right hand side of the
screen. Type in the open space at the bottom of the box and click “Send”
to post your question or response. If this becomes the means of communication
during your event due to audio issues, remember to wait until you are
“called on” to post a question or respond to a comment.
15. Once the event
is over, click “Logout” in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
