Synchronous Tools Evaluation

In co-operation with Media Services, we have begun an evaluation of online synchronous tools for instructors to use inside and outside of Moodle. We will be hosting a recurring series of webinars in January and February 2012 that will allow instructors to experience real-time video, audio, chat, screen sharing, and whiteboard presentations. We will be asking you to evaluate tools such as Adobe Connect, BigBlueButton, and Blackboard Collaborate in scripted use case scenarios that might reflect activities that you have been interested in facilitating in your courses. To take part in this exiting new event, watch our workshop schedule (at elearning.uvic.ca) for available sessions in the new year.
