Overview of the Web Tour

Web Tour allows the moderator to take the participants on a series of websites via an embedded browser window during the ELive! session. It allows the participants to browse the internet independently, and allows the moderator to redirect the participants to any link, all at the same time.

In order to use the Web Tour, one must have Internet Explorer, Safari or Mozilla Firefox as their default browser. One thing to remember though is that the participants cannot follow the moderator if the website requires a password or personal information (in that case use of Application Sharing is required), the Web Tour on a Mac does not have the ability to launch web pages that contain Java applets.

More information can be found on the elluminate webiste, check: Quick Reference Guide for Moderators and

Moderator’s Guide pages 183 to 186.

In addition, you can listen to an introductory recording found on the elluminate website: Recording

How to use the Web Tour effectively?

An example of a Self-Paced Assignment of the Web Tour in an Art class: France in 1400

Step 1: The moderator explains about the political and economic influence on Art in France in 1400 by taking all particiapnts to the Louvre Museum, to the In-Depth Studies : France in 1400

Step 2: Moderator picks some paintings from this study and assign to each particiapnt one painting, for example:

“Tableau de la Trinite”

“Tapestry of the Apocalypse of Angers”

“The gift of the heart”

Participant 1 is assigned the “Tableau de la Trinite”

Participant 2 is assigned the “Tapestry of the Apocalypse of Angers”

Participant 3 is assigned “The gift of the heart”

Etc

Step 3: Students are giving a set amount of time to study further and research the assigned painting. For example, participant 1 would go to: http://www.insecula.com/oeuvre/O0002573.html on his/her own using the Web Tour, and the other participants would each browse the internet looking for more information.

Step 4: Once time is up, the moderator brings back the participants by redirecting them to the main Louvre Museum website. And all information found is shared with the rest of the class.
