Chat Log Below

 
Celine Godet says  :
Can we do collaborative writing of the document ?
Dennis Oliver says  :
You can also push the sides of panes to reduce or enlarge.
Robert Squires says  :
Geoff I would love a copy of that word document with the minimum requirements of the interwise system
illya arnet says  :
How can we use Interwise with our own classes?
Moira Hunter says  :
Ilya, a pity you weren't at my presentation earlier  - look at the recording and that will give you some ideas :-)
Robert Squires says  :
Where can we get the recording, Moira?
illya arnet says  :
I mean technically. Can I just log on with a class?
Carla Arena says  :
is there a schedule?
Moira Hunter says  :
geoff is going to put it up soon Robert
Moira Hunter says  :
Ah OK Illya
Moira Hunter says  :
Mercedes are not free yet .... :-)
illya arnet says  :
Yes, thanks
Celine Godet says  :
Thanks for the presentation :-)
Moira Hunter says  :
Thanks for coming Celine :-)
Dennis Oliver says  :
Compared to other programs, $135+ a month is very affordable, but it's still expensive.

Are there options that don't require a monthly subscription?
Moira Hunter says  :
No Dennis but if there was a regular demand, I'm sure (speaking for Geoff as he's busy) negotiation is always possible - let's get Geoff's confirmation :-)
illya arnet says  :
Thank you so much Geoff. It was really useful! It's dinnertime here so I've got to go feed hungry mouths
illya arnet says  :
Bye everyone
Moira Hunter says  :
Thanks for coming Illya and I'll see you 'around'
Dennis Oliver says  :
Thanks, Moira.

It's one thing to look at getting DiscoverE/Interwise for an institutional server, but it's quite another thing to consider getting it on an individual basis.

Adobe Connect, for example, offers a per-minute option for individual presentations. This is the kind of option that might appeal to teachers on an individual basis.
illya arnet says  :
definitely :-)
Moira Hunter says  :
100
Moira Hunter says  :
100
Dennis Oliver says  :

Dennis Oliver says  :
Wow! The possibility of working collaboratively via this venue is really an attractive feature.
Jeff Lebow says  :
what kind of file is the recording?
Doug Symington says  :
Wonderful presentation Geoff -- it's been a while since I've seen interwise in action, and I really like what I see
Doug Symington says  :
proprietory format, Geoff was saying
Jeff Lebow says  :
we've got audio as an mp3
Jeff Lebow says  :
I think the question was about the complete visual recording
Doug Symington says  :
needs the interwise client to view media recorded (video)
Jeff Lebow says  :
audio archives are at http://streamarchives.net/
Dennis Oliver says  :
Yes, that's what I understood, too, Jeff.
Jeff Lebow says  :
just the mp3 archive
Dennis Oliver says  :
Ah--so unless you're a paid client, only the audio is available. Am I correct?
Carla Arena says  :
I realized that, Jeff, that audios WERE there!
Jeff Lebow says  :
If you haven't already, don't miss audio from 41 hours ago with Carla & Doug - very exciting stuff :)
Jeff Lebow says  :
How does interwise record this?  What kind of file?
Dennis Oliver says  :
Good! That's why I asked!
Carla Arena says  (to Jeff Lebow):
heheh, Jeff!
Dennis Oliver says  :
That's terrific news, Geoff!
Doug Symington says  :
http://filext.com/file-extension/VCM
Doug Symington says  :
vcm seems to be the name of the file format for interwise
Jeff Lebow says  :
ah
Dennis Oliver says  :
You just answered my next question, Geoff: thanks.
Jeff Lebow says  :
Thanks much - interesting stuff
