Update on Free Online Webinar Service

Late yesterday afternoon, students in one of my online informatics classes met for face-to-face presentations.  One of the students had to work and was not able to come to campus, but joined us virtually using the DimDim webinar web site.

Earlier in the day I scheduled the webinar to begin at 4 PM and emailed the distant student the URL for the Webinar site.  She logged into the class when she got home and was able to watch all of the PowerPoint presentations and hear the classroom discussion audio with DimDim.  She used the chat feature to make comments to the students after each presentation.

She had narrated her presentation using PowerPoint and emailed the file ahead of time for presentation during the face-to-face class. 

The students did an awesome job with their projects and presentations!
