Web Conference.

This week I had the opportunity to meet my mentor and colleagues on a video conference. It was quite an experience. Having the chance to interact and share ideas was refreshing. The software platform was very friendly. It had a chat window where everyone seems to be ready to interact. The center window provided the video and audio for the users. The next on the right allow the moderator to share the presentation. Unfortunately it was a bit small and we couldn't see it. A final window on the right provided the users activity or a flag whenever they wanted to provide an input.One thing I notice is the time consuming on getting everyone ready to join. Access network, speed and hardware play a vital role on this application.

Nice control over the conference by our coordinator Sheryl Abshire. She was clear to mention how important is to be on target and start working early during the week. Time management is a must to be able to complete assignments by the due day. It was mentioned the length of the internship and how important is to keep a copy of documents and work since that could be a great source to help during the final summative report. EPIC was briefly discussed and Sheryl mention the importance to verify email, account daily to keep current with details and posting comments on the discussion board timely.

I must say that at the end I felt a little bit more relax. Noticing that everyone experienced a couple of difficulties made me realize that I'm not the only one feeling stressed about taking it ON LINE!
