System Set-Up Instructions
Please follow the system readiness instructions at http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Webinars/instructions.htm, including running the Wimba Wizard. Failure to do so may result in inability to access the broadcast
on the day of the event! All
content will be delivered through your web browser.
Log-In
Instructions
If you have completed the readiness instructions and passed the
Wimba Wizard check, you are ready to move to the following instructions
to access the Meeting Room for the pre-event audio-visual
check opportunity (see your email for date and time) and
up to one hour before the Event begins.
- Enter
the
Username and Password that were sent to you in an email.
- Click 'Sign
In' to join the live session.
- You may be
taken directly to the Webinar Room, or one or all of the
following may occur before you enter the room:
- Depending
on how your computer is configured, a box may appear that says,
"This page contains both secure and non-secure items. Do
you want to display the non-secure items?" For most browsers, you will need to
Click "yes." However, the newest version of Internet Explorer (IE8) will require you to Click "no." (Clicking "yes" in IE8 results in a blank white screen.)
- Depending
on how your computer is configured, a box may appear that says,
"The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window.
Do you want to close this window?" For most systems, Click "yes" - however, for some IE configurations, clicking "yes" here will cause the Wimba room to close as well as the extra window - if this happens, you may need to close the browser, start again, and click "no".
(Note: If you can't get through this step,
you most likely still have a pop-up blocker enabled on your system. The most common "culprit"
is the Google toolbar.)
- The
Wimba Wizard box may come up again. If it does, and you have
already completed the system check, simply click on the "Click
here" link within the sentence "If you have
completed the wizard previously, click here to enter
Live Classroom."

you experience technical difficulties before or during the event,
