Faculty Expectations

Terry,

We were using Wimba until it was bought out by Blackboard. We had to move to collaborate because Wimba was not well support after the buyout. We used Elluminate a number of years ago until the same thing happened. We also have an installation of Panapto that our IT folks decided we needed. I have also used Connect Professional - which I liked but I didn't like the server-only hosting of the recordings. I prefer a system that allows me to download recordings in a standard format such as MP4 (H.264). I have also used GoToMeeting. I have found most of these to be very similar in functionality. I prefer a system that is reliable and well supported!! Keep in mind that since all of these are server based and many are hosted on off-campus server systems, YOUR network infrastructure plays a huge role in the quality of the experience. I have also used Join.ME which I LOVE for just quick help sessions with students. It is FREE and a very small install for the students. They share their screen and with microphones use VOIP to discuss their issues and walk them through problems.
