Accessing an eLive session

Quick guide for staff

There are a number of ways an eLive session can be accessed.

Note: whilst Deakin staff are automatically assigned the role of moderator and Deakin students are automatically assigned the role of participant in eLive sessions, this may vary depending on how the session is set up.

Note: non-Deakin people will be participants when they first login to a session, but can be promoted to moderator during the session.
