- 2. Definition Web conferencing refers to a service that allows
conferencing events to be shared with remote locations. The service
allows information to be shared simultaneously, across
geographically dispersed locations in nearly real-time.
Applications for web conferencing include meetings, training
events, lectures, or short presentations from any computer. A
participant can be either an individual person or a group. 2
- 3. What is Web conferencing? 3
- 4. History Real-time text chat facilities such as IRC appeared
in the late 1980s. Web-based chat and instant messaging software
appeared in the mid-1990s. In the late 1990s, the first true web
conferencing capability became available and dozens of other web
conferencing venues followed thereafter. A trademark for the term
"webinar" was registered in 1998 by Eric R. Korb (Serial Number
75478683, USPTO) but was difficult to defend; it is currently
assigned to InterCall. Web conferencing started with Plato, a small
standalone system that supports a single class of terminals
connected to a central computer. 4
- 5. Features & Applications Slide show presentations - where
images are presented to the audience and markup tools and a remote
mouse pointer are used to engage the audience while the presenter
discusses slide content. Live or Streaming video - where full
motion webcam, digital video camera or multi-media files are pushed
to the audience. VoIP - (Real time audio communication through the
computer via use of headphones and speakers) Web tours - where
URLs, data from forms, cookies, scripts and session data can be
pushed to other participants enabling them to be pushed though web
based logons, clicks, etc. This type of feature works well when
demonstrating websites where users themselves can also participate.

- 6. Features & Applications Meeting Recording - where
presentation activity is recorded on the client side or server side
for later viewing and/or distribution. Whiteboard with annotation
(allowing the presenter and/or attendees to highlight or mark items
on the slide presentation. Or, simply make notes on a blank
whiteboard.) Text chat - For live question and answer sessions,
limited to the people connected to the meeting. Text chat may be
public (echoed to all participants) or private (between 2
participants). Polls and surveys (allows the presenter to conduct
questions with multiple choice answers directed to the audience)

- 7. Features & Applications Screen sharing/desktop
sharing/application sharing- (where participants can view anything
the presenter currently has shown on their screen. Some screen
sharing applications allow for remote desktop control, allowing
participants to manipulate the presenters screen, although this is
not widely used.)Web conferencing is often sold as a service,
hosted ona web server controlled by the vendor. Offerings vary
pervendor but most hosted services provide a cost per userper
minute model, a monthly flat fee model and a seatmodel. Some
vendors also provide a server side solutionwhich allows the
customer to host their own webconferencing service on their own
servers. 7
- 8. Deployment models Web conferencing is available with three
models: hosting service, software and appliance. An appliance,
unlike the online hosted solution, it is offered as hardware. It is
also known as "in-house" or "on-premise" web conferencing. It is
used to conduct live meetings, remote training, or presentations
via the Internet. 8
