Next Tuesday, we’re kicking off a series of e-Tutoring “Open Houses” starting with a beginner session with our Spanish e-Tutor, Enrique. More Open Houses are planned for the future in other languages and at different levels and will give anyone who is curious about how e-Tutoring works the chance to join a real, live session for free. The first session will be on Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. EST and will cover Essential Lessons 3-5 of the Living Language Spanish course.
Anyone can join this Open House session simply by clicking on the link given in the instructions below. Participants will be able to see and hear our e-Tutor Enrique and his students go through a full e-Tutoring session on Essential Lessons 3 through 5 of our Spanish course. Here are some important things to know if you’re interested in joining in:
- Those attending the Open House will not share their audio or video. Only 3 students will participate in the session while others listen and watch.
- The session will last 30 minutes, from 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. EST. on Tuesday, February 3, 2015.
- If you have the Living Language Complete Edition or Online course, you can review the materials to be covered in the session ahead of time (Essential Lessons 3-5), and if you don’t, you can get a sense for what will be covered by looking at our Language Lab for those lessons, linked below:
Essential Spanish Lesson 3 Language Lab
Essential Spanish Lesson 4 Language Lab
Essential Spanish Lesson 5 Language Lab
- The session will be delivered via GoToMeeting by Citrix, the video-conferencing software used for all of our e-Tutoring sessions. You’ll need a fast internet connection and the ability to hear audio on your computer. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to join:
1.) Click on the link below at the time of the session (i.e. not until 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 3!)
https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/310224477
2. The link will take you to a web page on the GTM site that downloads a small app onto your computer. It should run automatically, but if prompted click on “Run” or “Allow” to let the file run. Once GTM is installed, it will launch the session automatically.
3. When you join the session, your audio will be muted, so you won’t be heard, and you will not share your video, so you won’t be seen as well. However, you will be able to see and hear Enrique and his students.
4. Sit back and enjoy observing a full session in action. And feel free to take notes!
More detailed instructions of how you can join a GoToMeeting session are given here but keep in mind that you will not receive an email regarding the Open House. You can just use the link given above.
