Quicklaunch Elluminate for Dial up

 

 

Realize that dial up can work successfully but that it will be slower and some functions may not work optimally. 

 

The downloads for this site are at the following locations.  It is best to have someone with a fast connection download these files for you and then transfer them to your computer with either a USB or a disc.  Dial up downloads will take a long time and may not be successful if they continually time out.  Even providers like clear wire may have difficulty in my experience.

The first link is all you need.  The others are extra or FYI.

Directions after downloading above:

  1. Open zip or use a unzipper tool.
  2. Inside you will note the following files:

  1. Connect to the internet first and then click on start in the list shown above. You will be brought to a page like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. You may see a note at the top where it says, "to help protect your security".  If so, click it and allow blocked content and click yes to allow it.  Now you will see this screen

 

 

 

Step 5: Click next to pre-populate the cache.  You will see this page next:

Step 6:  On step 2, click where it says “click here” in blue.  This is very important as it did not work without doing this step for one person. 

Step 7: click “close this window” as “join this configuration room” does not appear to be work anymore.  After this, you should not have to do these steps again as it should remember this quick-launch set up.

Step 8:  click your Elluminate link for your class as usual. Be patient while it loads Elluminate for the first time. The first time takes longer as it loads the program. Make sure your firewall is not preventing it from loading and that you are allowing cookies in internet explorer/tools/internet options/privacy/advanced/ accept cookies or at least prompt for this site.

It may be that letting them first log in using a teacher Elluminate link will work better as they won’t have to give name which somehow prevented one user from making it work.  After using the teacher link once, the student link worked just fine from then on.  This should not be required but is noted here just in case you run into the same issue.

 I hope this helps.  Please contact me below if you need help:
