Playing with Vyew

In my current Online Facilitation Workshop we are playing with the free web meeting tool, Vyew. We did our Friday chat (sans audio) today to play with it. One of the features is that you can publish a recording of a meeting and I wanted to try and see how it looks. Here it is!



One of the activities we did was an online variant of something I learned from Gunnar at AspirationTech, "Land or Sea" (aka Spectrogram) I think it worked well in the web meeting environment. We put up the "line" on the shared whiteboard, then asked the question. People then put their names along the continuum. We then discussed (in this case using the chat window) our responses. People could move their names along the line if their views changed during the discussion. It was pretty cool and very interactive.

We also talked about the value of having audio or not in this exercise. Lots of food for thought!

Hi Nancy,

This is Jonah Cagley from Yugma. We launched a new type of web conferencing and collaboration service back in December and it has been growing by leaps and bounds through REAL users trying out our product. We are completely focused on being extremely easy, inexpensive, and cross-platform compatible. In addition to having a great service for Windows users, we've been getting great reviews for our ease of use and support for Mac users. We just recently launched support for Linux (8 versions supported!). I encourage you and your colleagues to try out our service. Our basic version is FREE forever. It allows you to invite up to 10 attendees, anytime. Unlimited. PLUS, throw in a whiteboard and free teleconferencing... it’s hard to beat!
