Focus of the Presentation Note:
This presentation is an introduction to LiveText and should
be helpful for any new users (Students, Faculty or Staff).
The “focus” is the New Generation (c1) version of LiveText
and, therefore, should provide assistance for Legacy
(the original view of LiveText) users in their transition to
New Generation. Please don’t hesitate to contact Phil
Martinez (pmartine@calbaptist.edu or 951-343-4346) for
further assistance.
