Talking
Communities seamlessly integrates its conferencing technology into
almost any existing software or system. You don't need to be
the owner of the software, have access to the source code, or even
host it yourself. Integration of conferencing technology into things
you already use minimizes negative impact on the users and maximizes
usability. This helps break down barriers to using the conferencing
technology by simplifying it and integrating it into something
already totally familiar to the user.
Take
a look at some ideas for integration of web conferencing into
existing systems:
| Outlook: Upon
creating an appointment in Outlook, a tab is available which
can be used to access and schedule the appointment in an
existing conference room, or create a new conference room. If
chosen to do so, Outlook will automatically delete the room
after the meeting.
|
| Google Calendar: Working
similar to the Outlook integration, the Google Calendar
integration allows users to schedule meetings in a virtual
conference room that has been previously created and
configured, or create a new conference room for this meeting
only and choose to have it automatically deleted upon
completion of the meeting.
|
| Moodle: Moodle's
Learning Management System is a widely used open-source system
for online courses. Integration of Talking Communities permits
adding live classes to the course work. Live classrooms can be
created, modified, and deleted in the Talking Communities
module. Classrooms can then be linked with courses and
scheduled.
|
| Let's Go Expo: This
service provides Online live and archived virtual Expos,
Meetings, and Courses. This system combines synchronous and
asynchronous media with online payment systems and sponsoring
to create and customize online events. Complete integration of
the conference system allows multiple online presenters,
expositors, and teachers to collaborate simultaneously.
|
| Second Life: Second
Life is an online 3-D world environment. It is quickly gaining
ground in the education world for online training. It does,
however, require a powerful computer and broadband access.
Talking Communities has integrated with SL to provide equal
opportunity to those with older computers or slower
connections.
