Goal of Workshop • Provide information on technologies available to engage a broader audience • Audience can be attendees, organizing committee, post-conference users…all depends on your vantage point • Review how IEEE can support you with this today • Discuss how IEEE can support you with this in the future • Your input and feedback will help inform future directions
I. Universe of Remote Conferencing, Communications & Information Sharing - Synchronous & Asynchronous CommunicationII. Available IEEE Services - IEEE Remote Collaboration ServicesIII. Addressing Needs of Conferences - Making Technology Work for You - Pre-Conference, In Conference, Post ConferenceIV. Discussion: -The future: The Possibilities are Endless DISCUSSION TOPICS
Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Communication Asynchronous Technologies • Asynchronous tools don’t require users to be connected, or online at the same point in time; enable communication and collaboration for sustained dialogue over a period of time. • Users separated by distance and time • Collective knowledge capture over time • History of the interactions of a group
Asynchronous Communication Virtual/Online Communities Social Networking/Media Wikipedia the collaborative encyclopedia ranks among best known wikis IEEE MGA VTOOLs Twiki YouTubeNarrated slideshows/ Presentation Capture ieee.tv
Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Communication Synchronous Technologies • Synchronous tools enable real-time communication and collaboration; same time-different location, same time same location, individual connections. • Users connect instantly at a single point in time • Challenge Simultaneous participation - different time zones and conflicting schedules can create communication challenges.

IEEE Web Conferencing Products like … MS Live Meeting Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro WebEx - Collaboration Scenarios • Highly collaborative meetings • Webinar – Online seminar, typically one-way, from speaker to a larger group with limited/no audience interaction. Controlled information delivery • Webcast – Online Broadcast • On Demand Conferencing – Media file distributed over the internet using streaming media technology. Can be a recorded session for on-demand access. • Simple online communications IEEE Web Conferencing is a service that gives IEEE patrons the ability to collaborate in a virtual environment using select conferencing products. Available to IEEE staff, and volunteers for conducting or attending online meetings related to IEEE business.
