Flashmeeting
• Advantages?– Those unable to attend in person can
participate – A possible way of recording the session.– Relatively cheap technology– One can ‘chat’ during the session, without
needing to ‘go live’ with the webcam
Flashmeeting
• Disadvantages?– Need a ‘facilitator’ at the event to co-ordinate
attendees and Flashmeeting attendees.– Need to allow enough time for the set-up– Recording only as good as the individual’s
webcam.
