| New in the Lightweight Chat is a
text-based chat tool that allows a group of users to conduct
an online session through text-based messages. You can send
private messages to participants. Breakout Sessions can be created
for group work . Chats are section 508 compliant. Instructors
control archiving of sessions, allowing for more privacy of
online meetings. The archive can be started and stopped throughout
the session. |
New in the Virtual Classroom has
all the features of the Lightweight Chat tool and more. Although
session leaders can no longer annotate web pages with the Whiteboard
tools, or click a link in a Web page and force all users’
browsers to go to that link, several other features have been
added.
You can now use math equations and scientific notation in the
whiteboard. Instructors and students can respond to questions
from session participants. Studenst can view course materials
i.e. PowerPoints in the whiteboard. Snapshots can be made of
content in the Whiteboard and added to the session archives.
Setting the ability to grant privileges to users based on their
passive or active status is now available. Also the option to
have multiple Collaboration sessions available, controlled by
time/date release. |
