Hi everyone and welcome to the tutorial on how to access your online math tutoring
appointment. This video is designed for
those who are already used to our
booking system and know how to access
and have accounts with us. If you do not
have an account with us, no problem.
Just have a peek over here in our how-to
videos on how to register and book
appointments and then come back to this
video for accessing your online math
appointment. So this video is designed to
show you how to get from our booking
system to the platform that we're going
to be using for our online math tutoring
which is called Goboard. So, this is
assuming that you've already booked your
appointment and now you need to know how
to get from your appointment to connect
with your tutor. So the first thing you
need to do is put in the email address
and password that you have with our
account with our booking system and then select the online tutoring math schedule.
Careful because we have a separate
schedule for online English tutoring so
you want to access the correct schedule
and choose the math one. Go ahead and log
in, and then it's automatically taking
you to the online math tutoring schedule.
Don't worry if you make a mistake and
accidentally land on a different
schedule you can always click here and
choose the correct one again. So, first
things is that we need to access your
appointment. So, this is my appointment I
have it at five o'clock today with
Norris, ahh so I'm gonna click on it and
you're gonna scroll down and you'll see
that you've already put this is your
appointment where you put your course
code, no it's not the first time to the
TLC, and then what do you want to work on with your tutor, and then below it
your tutor, a minimum of ten minutes
before your appointment time, will go
ahead and put in this link. This is the
link you're going to need to access your,
the online tutoring platform, and to
connect with your tutor. So, a minimum of
ten minutes before your appointment time
you can come back into your appointment
and get your specific room. So, we're
gonna copy this
and then we're gonna go and paste it
into our browser. You need to use either
uhh, Firefox or Chrome. Internet Explorer and Safari do not work with Goboard, you
must use Firefox or Chrome. So, we're
gonna hit enter and then it asks you, are
you a tutor are you a student? You're
gonna select "I'm a student" and you're
gonna put in your name.
This email says school email - it does not have to be your
George Brown email address, it can be
your preferred email address so
whichever one you check and that you
would like to use. And the purpose for
this is because once you're done your
tutoring appointment Goboard is going
to email you a copy of all the work that
you did in the online boards and the
online pages, so you want to make sure
that you enter in your email so that you
can get that and then it's gonna say
enter Goboard and it's gonna load it
and the first, the next step you need to
do is enable your camera and microphone.
So online tutoring works the same way as
an in-person tutoring
appointment - you're face to face with
your tutor and so they can see you, you
can see them and you're able to talk to
them normally, but we need to enable your
camera and microphone so if you see here
it says there's been an error trying to
access the device so if you look up here
in the far right-hand corner
a pop-up was blocked, so we want to click
here to allow Goboard to access your
camera and microphone. Click done. And then click this again, and now
it is active. And then we just hit enter
now. You're not going to invite anyone
else to join you, you can just enter in
and then your tutor will come in at the
start of your appointment. So this is how
to get into your Goboard. I'm not
going to go through the features right
now, I'm gonna wait. So the next video is
going to explore some of
Goboard's features so that you can use it
properly and this video was just about
how to access it so now you know how to
access your online tutoring math
appointment and the next video is going
to be about some of the great features
and how to work with your camera and
other tools that are on here, so stay
tuned
