Hi Glenn,

There is a recording of the last session on exams:(to quote!):
This is a link to a recording of our first session held on Tuesday May 18th, in which teachers discussed the VCAA sample exam questions issued as a guide to the new course.
https://sas.elluminate.com/p.jnlp?psid=2010-0608.0108.D.4640AB78069D7411782D5B69858A13.vcr&sid=2007026

Not too sure of the technical issues, but most people seem to be fine once they upgrade Java. 
Once you are actually on, it's really straight forward, so I hope you can get it working!
Have you looked at the tech support info:
http://www.education.vic.gov.au/researchinnovation/virtualconferencecentre/use/start.htm
I have a 3 year old DEECD laptop and did not have to upgrade Java, so maybe you can try laptop?

For everyone - you do not necessarily have to sign up for tomorrow nights session, just access the link at http://guidetoinnovation.ning.com/events
I will send out the details at this link as a reminder tomorrow.
Cheers
Claire
