Having two TTF meetings in August 2013
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Aug. 4, 2013

Aug. 4, 2013

Dear All, The next monthly TTF call is formally August 19 2013. However, a review of our workload, namely - review of webconferencing technologies. We've focused and continue to use LUCID, but two other solutions have been proposed for consideration by At-Large (Bluejeans Network, readytalk) https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Web+Conferencing. - The ideas for improving the organisation of At-Large content project https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Ideas+for+improving+the+organis… - updating the At-Large Social Media Strategy. So far, information from ALAC-Announce mailing list is disseminated via social media channels. However, the challenge is integrating other content (e.g videos, capacity building content) - updating the TTF Workspace a singe TTF call would not be enough. I therefore am suggesting a TTF call next week, August 5 2013 (or at the least during the week of August 5-9), in additional to the August 19 2013 call. We could then attempt to schedule web conferencing trials of the other solutions during the week of August 12-16 and/or the week of August 26-30 Thoughts? Dev Anand TTF chair

Educators, corporate trainers, and event managers have many more web conferencing options available than ever before to enrich skills training through social learning.

More Conference tools
by Glenn McKnight Aug. 1, 2013

Aug. 1, 2013

www.tokbox.com This is a unique video conferencing service that lets your audience (up to 200 people per conference) send you video questions, really making your virtual conference feel like a face-to-face one. Video questions can be sent in advance of the meeting, so presenters can review them and decide if they want to make the video public. Presenters can also put meeting participants on screen and move them off at any time. And to make the job easier, they can even appoint a ‘meeting producer’ who will be responsible for all video-related issues. Attendees can request to go on-screen at any time, so they can be seen when asking a question or making a comment, for example. This tool starts at $39.39 per month. * ooVoo <http://www.oovoo.com/> *- A nice, easy-to-use interface<http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/userinterface.htm> is what sets this tool apart from its competitors. But it’s not just built on looks, as it has some great features. For example, it allows for six people to video conference at a time, in high quality. But best of all, it also has the ability to record video conferences, storing up to 1,000 minutes of those online - this makes it easy to share the recording with your colleagues after the video conference has taken place. Users can also record and send video messages to other ooVoo subscribers. The one downside is that it is pricier than its alternatives, as it costs $39.95 per month for only one seat. * MegaMeeting <http://www.megameeting.com/>* - A browser-based video conferencing tool, MegaMeeting is full of useful features. For example, it offers unlimited video conferencing with anyone, anywhere in the world and allows for up to 16 people at a time to participate in a video conference. Users can control the quality of the video conference, and also how many frames per second are seen, meaning that they can adjust how often the webcam image is refreshed to the video conference attendees. MegaMeeting also supports the sharing of presentations and the customization of the meeting room with a company logo. This software costs $45 per month for three subscriptions. * SightSpeed <http://www.sightspeed.com/>* - Made by Logitech, this tool allows for up to nine people to video conference at once. It also has a video mail function that lets users send videos of up to five minutes to any e-mail inbox. These videos do not have to be downloaded, as they are stored by SightSpeed and can be viewed by clicking a link. In addition, the responses to your video mails are also tracked and stored, so it’s easy to see what kinds of reactions to your videos you have received. Like Skype, it also has a file-sharing<http://compnetworking.about.com/od/basicnetworkingconcepts/a/file_sharing.h…>facility - so presentations and other materials can be sent during your video conferences. A single seat costs $19.95 per month. Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .
