Web Conferencing

So with the help of Erin Hamson I learned a little more about Web Conferencing and some of the benefits that that has in a business setting. I used to always see video chat as just a means of communicating with friends or family but she showed me how using a program called Yugma, it also has many applications in the business world. It creates virtual meetings and brings people together without having to actually bring them all physically into one room. The person hosting the meeting can mediate a discussion and help forward progress on any project they are working on. I also found it interesting that file sharing is incorporated into Yugma so that process can be easily accessed while still using Yugma.

I hadn't heard of Yugma so it was good to find out about it. You'll actually want to use it and involve others in order to have it count toward the Digital Literacy Labs requirement. Why not involve some other students or friends from your major? What are academic applications for this service?
