User Guide

This is for teachers, teaching assistants, student champions and all other MeTL users.

How To Use This Guide

Content that applies only to particular institutions is marked with a sticker, for example: Saint Leo University (SLU).

• MeTL controls or menu options are distinctly formatted to show exactly what to look for in MeTL.
• In a pedagogical (teaching) context: “Conversation owner” may be referred to as teacher, and “Other user” as student.
• SLU users may use the term Whiteboard to refer to the MeTL application.
• The MeTL application can be themed for different institutions. Most screenshots will use the “neutral” theme (dark background) but some use the Saint Leo University theme (green background), particularly where it is necessary to demonstrate integration with an external gradebook or Learning Management System (LMS).

Throughout the guide there appear breakout boxes of various types:
