What should I tell the students?

Students using eduStream to access their lectures will need to learn to use the technology as early in the session as possible. Otherwise, they may fall behind with their lectures and find it hard to catch up.

You can assist students by:

• using a SOLS announcement to let them know about eduStream (see sample in Appendix A)
• include a ‘Learning with eduStream’ statement in the subject outline (a sample statement is provided in Appendix C)
  n including a brief segment on eduStream as part of their induction day or in the first tutorial (please ask CEDIR for a set of presentation slides if this is needed)
• including a link to the eduStream page on the WebCT site for the subject (if only some students are to be given access, you can use WebCT’s conditional release facility). This link will be emailed to you by CEDIR
• letting students know the location of online resources to help them get started with eduStream (see below)
• making sure tutors are competent with eduStream so they can assist students
• encouraging students to use eduStream at home as well as at the computer labs
• following up with an email to students early in session, to check whether any have particular difficulties.

Students with technical questions should refer to the online resources. These are available at:

If they are still experiencing difficulties, they can email edustream@uow.edu.au.
