My blog about Web-Conferencing, as you all may know, is very long overdue but I am going to do my best to catch up. In an effort to do so I will be blogging quite frequently throughout the upcoming days. Thank you all for your patience.
As an introduction to Web Conferencing I first went and just did a simple Google search. After clicking on some links I settled on Wikipedia to provide me a simple starting point definition of the topic...
"Web conferencing is used to conduct live meetings, training, or presentations via the Internet. In a web conference, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants via the internet" (Wikipedia, 10-22-09)
Though the topic itself seems pretty self-explanitory the advances in technology have dramatically increased the effectiveness of Web-Conferencing in the past few years.
Web-Conferences use a variety of media and computer applications that allow the users to have increased interaction as well as giving the teacher/discussion leader the authority necessery to get their points across.
