I think it is smart ot have Angel create the integration.
Paul K
definitely
9:32am (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
love it
they are very well prepared for this
but i've never seen the app sharing and video work as well as it did in this demo
9:37am (May 12, 2008) Paul K
And Jen, you use the ASP hosting?
9:38am (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
yes
9:47am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
the angel integration is sweet!
BTCJen
i like it
Paul K
nice
9:50am (May 12, 2008) Andy

Wonder why they won't let me share my admin screen
9:56am (May 12, 2008) Andy
Nice video image.
10:03am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
meet back on the conference @ 10:10am
BTCJen has left
10:32am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
Jen - need help?
She must be rebooting
Andy
Anybody else having audio cut out?
10:41am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
I've been OK
10:44am (May 12, 2008) Paul K
Mine's choppy. I guess Andy and those of us at CIS are having latency problems.
10:45am (May 12, 2008) Andy
Yeah, I am losing audio periodically.
Paul K
We have great bandwidth at CIS but may have something affecting real-time connections.
10:46am (May 12, 2008) Andy
The other session ran fine though
CBCJerry
audio is ok here
slowed down briefly when S Kane talked, then sped up
10:47am (May 12, 2008) Andy
I am catching about every other sentence now.
10:48am (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
Less gaps for me than with Elluminate
10:50am (May 12, 2008) Paul K
Oh wow, mine's not that bad Andy. We may need some best practices for fine-tuning campus networking.
10:52am (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
you could call the phone
10:53am (May 12, 2008) Andy
where do I find the phone number?
CBCJerry
click on the telephone icon
866-328-2807
pin 30199426
10:54am (May 12, 2008) Andy
thanks, I am on the phone
10:56am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
are you kidding me?
she's reading the screen
not what I would call an exemplary presentation... and a poor use of their limited time
Paul K
I dropped the video bandwidth down to "Low" and I think that's helped. Initially it's set to High.
11:05am (May 12, 2008) Andy
screen sharing isn't working well for me.
heloo has joined
11:07am (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
probably because of the connection problems
I'm getting a bit of voice breakup now
or maybe she wasn't talking
11:08am (May 12, 2008) Andy
I have been getting some on the phone too, but it is much better than the VOIP.

I wonder if it's a Mac thing?
well, Estelita is using a Mac ...
11:16am (May 12, 2008) Paul K
Mac should give better audio-video experience, right? According to the legends...
CBCJerry
talking too slowly ...

Have to give him the >> sign. I wonder if the "heloo" user can be disabled?
CBCJerry
I messaged Jen, since she's the owner
heloo has left
BTCJen has joined
11:21am (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
are they gone now?
CBCJerry
yup
11:22am (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
sorry. when ff crashed i didn't open anything but wimba
did he really just say he had a huge collection of knowledge based on user issues? why would you admit that?
11:23am (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
missed that
11:30am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
Bugs me that I can't see all of the participants in Wimba - not a good use of screen real estate
Andy
Did they address reliability?
11:32am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
nope - ask them
11:33am (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
i am having a hard time paying attention
i don't think the environment is conducive to learning
looks just like a ppt
11:34am (May 12, 2008) Paul K
Yes, same feeling for me: that bottom panel is too limited and can't be resized.
11:35am (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
and their answer to everything is, "we will work with you"
11:38am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
I don't like that the instructor is all powerful - there are no default participant whiteboard tools available - makes me feel powerless
BTCJen
mwahahahaha
the evil instructor
11:41am (May 12, 2008) Paul K
yes, just less interactive
11:46am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
poor showing - no energy - felt like it would never end...
11:47am (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
I was getting sleepy
more coffee time
Ed B has joined
11:51am (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
me too - coffee it is
11:53am (May 12, 2008) Ed B
Didn't notice the shared/pushed content in the Elluminate being hard to view because the instructor window wasn't sized right or didn't fit on my display area, but did here...others?
Here being Wimba..
12:03pm (May 12, 2008) Paul K
Ed, I guess I did see that too. Had to move the window over.
Paul K has left
12:20pm (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
they need to start having educators do the presenting
or magicians
Paul has joined
12:23pm (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
cop out
CBCJerry
Are we only seeing the display screen with the solution summary
Andy
That's all I see.
12:25pm (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
no
I'm only seeing the video full screen, no classroom, same with you?
12:42pm (May 12, 2008) Andy
Is anyone else getting pauses in the audio? I don't seem to be missing anything, just pauses periodically.
CBCJerry
I'm not seeing the pds
pods
12:43pm (May 12, 2008) Paul
Audio is good for me w/ Adobe. But I can't see a thing at the moment - just grey background.
12:44pm (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
when i've used this before, there have been pod issues. each time we used it, they got smaller and smaller and we couldn't figure out why
CBCJerry has left
12:54pm (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
there is a movie in here ... attack of the pod people? No... that's been done.

PowerPoint misuse raises threat of losing audiences

Laughing in my office
at Paul's link
2:30pm (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
haha
2:31pm (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
I dozed off - is the presentation still running?
CBCJerry
there's sound coming from the phone
2:32pm (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
do we have a drooling on the keyboard while sleeping metric?
2:33pm (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
and the resulting electrocutions
2:34pm (May 12, 2008) BTCJen
these people have no idea what they are losing
they all should have had every employee on this project
2:35pm (May 12, 2008) Cable Green
lots of money, and good press, and Angel integration, etc, etc, etc.
CBCJerry
And I thought it couldn't get worse than the last
Cable Green
It's worse - easy 1, 2, 3, 4 ranking
2:36pm (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
Maybe these guys have a good product, but it's difficult to see from this
Cable Green
With 20/20 hindsight, we should have invited WebEx instead of these folks
CBCJerry
yes
can we do it anyway
2:37pm (May 12, 2008) Paul
I like Jennifer's comment. Is this too small of a contract for them?!
BTCJen
i was able to app share SL with that citrix product
they should have moved every resource to this project for a month. no excuses.
2:38pm (May 12, 2008) CBCJerry
well, look at their pricing
it's usage based, rather than FTE
Which could be a desireable model
arrrgh
2:41pm (May 12, 2008) Paul
Where's chat or any attendee interaction?
Cable Green
who's pricing?
CBCJerry
there is a Q&A tab
Eventbuilder
I didn't read closely, but it looks like it's usage based
not FTE based
Maybe we can use that as leverage for getting the price down on Elluminate
