How to Begin an E-Session
Step 1:
First, refer to How an E-Session Works.
Then, use Google Chrome to log into your allianceu.edu email.
Make sure to log out of all other emails in that browser.
You MUST use Google Chrome to avoid technical difficulties with other browsers.
Step 2:
Use your allianceu.edu email to send the following to thewritingcenter@allianceu.edu:
- Your Draft, if you have any, as a MS Word attachment, NOT a PDF.
- Your Assignment Detail, i.e. your assignment instructions in the professor’s exact words.
Please email the above at least 10 minutes before your e-session, or as early as possible – for example, the morning of or the day before your e-session.
Step 3:
- After doing step 2, your allianceu.edu email inbox will receive an email saying “Invitation to edit” as shown below.
- You will receive this invitation email only at the time of your e-session.
Step 4:
- Open the invitation email and select “Open in Docs.”
- Google Docs allow both student and consultant to simultaneously make & save changes to the student’s draft.
Step 5:
- Return to your nyack email inbox, and wait for the green notification on the bottom right corner of your screen, as shown below.
- Select “Answer.”
- If you do not see “Decline” or “Answer,” click on the small green camera icon on the top left.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you do not see the notification in Step 5, you may see the email below.
Only if you see this email, open it and click on “Join,” as shown below, to begin the video e-session with your consultant.
