The Writing Studio and Tutoring Services now offer synchronous online consultations as an important resource for Vanderbilt students who would benefit due to a variety of extenuating circumstances. Below is a guide to some of the tools available in WCONLINE, our online appointment platform.
Using The Toolbar in WCONLINE
The 鈥渁rrows鈥� button is the Import/Export tool. Clients can use it to import a full document to the text collaboration whiteboard. Imported text does not get automatically highlighted in the way that text typed or copied onto the whiteboard space is. Don鈥檛 forget the Export option! At the end of session, you might remind clients they can use the import/export tool to download the contents of the whiteboard to a document they can save.
The 鈥渆ye鈥� symbol will remove the 鈥渢rack changes鈥� highlighting from text in the whiteboard. It can remove all highlight at once (useful, for instance, if a client has pasted a whole essay onto the whiteboard).
The clock icon聽opens the session archive. The user can scroll back and forth through changes made during the session and export any version of the white board material. (It will also kick you out of the session when you click on it, so be aware.)
The Camera button聽turns your own audio and video feed off (if you need to reset your feed or don鈥檛 want to appear on camera).
罢丑别听Question Mark聽will take you to the WCOnline Manual page on Synchronous Online Meetings.
The 鈥淧i鈥� button is the Embed Mathjax tool.聽You can use it to embed mathematical notation in the whiteboard.
The Pencil button is the Drawing tool.聽It allows you to draw directly on the whiteboard. Clicking it opens a drawing window. The drawing window has its own toolbar with buttons to choose a pencil or paintbrush to draw with, select and move 聽your drawing, clear your drawing, upload an image, among others.
The group head and shoulders button聽tells you how many people are using the chat window and allows you to change your display name and text chat color.
