Request an Elluminate Session Assistant

Note that the ID team has a trained student assistant who can provide support at the beginning of an Elluminate Live! session to get students acclimated to the environment and deal with any technical issues before the start of classes. If you would like to schedule this student to assist your class please send an e-mail request to id@rwu.edu containing your name, the name of your course, the time and date of your session.
