Online tutoring is provided to students who
are enrolled in an online Finite Mathematics
course.
Tutoring is done on a first-come, first-served
basis.
Students who would like to receive online
tutoring will need to call the ISL during the
times that online tutoring is available. (For a
list of times, please visit our website or call us
at 334-244-3265).
1. Call the ISL at 334-244-3265 during the times
when online tutoring is available.
2. Be prepared to provide…
Your name:
Major:
Course:
Professor’s Name:
Student S#:
AUM student email address:
3. An email will be sent to your AUM email
account that will allow you to enter the
tutoring session.
When you open your email, you will see a link.
You will need to click on that link. (If the link is not
active, then you will need to copy and paste the link to your internet
browser.)
4. You will receive the following “Session Login”
prompt. Please type in your first and last name
into the “Name” box so that our tutors will
know who you are. Then click on the “Log In”
box.
5. You may be shown the following
“meeting.jnlp” box. If this happens, Click
“Open”.
6. Click “Run” to allow all essential software to be
downloaded to your computer.
7. You will be shown the following “Blackboard
Collaborate” box. When you see this box, click
“Accept”.
8. You will then need to state the connection
speed of your server. (It is highly recommended that you use a
computer that has a reasonably fast internet connection in order to maximize the
online tutoring experience.)
Once you select your connection speed, click
“OK”.
9. The tutoring room is essentially a big online
whiteboard.
You and your tutor will communicate through a
combination of audio (microphone and
speakers) and visual (text and drawings
created on the whiteboard) aids.
If you have an activated microphone (most
laptops do), please click on the “Talk” button
located at the top left part of the page (see
picture below).

During the first tutoring session, be prepared
to troubleshoot any technical issues and to
experiment with the features within the online
tutoring program.
The computer that you use will need working
speakers and a microphone so that you may
communicate with your tutor.
Your tutor will help you become familiar with
these features.
10. At the end of the tutoring session, you will
have the opportunity to save the work that was
done on the online whiteboard.
Saving your work will allow you to reference
your work in the future.
The following slides will illustrate how easy it is
to save your work.
1. Go to File  Save  Whiteboard
2. Since you will likely want to save all of the
work done during the session, select the “All
Pages” option, and then click “Ok”.
3. You will need to
a) Select where to save the file,
b) Name the file, and
c) SAVE THE FILE AS A PDF FILE. (Otherwise, the
saved file will be effectively worthless.)
The following slide illustrates how to save your work
to a PDF file.
