Have you wondered how you could more often meet your distance learners? ... ..Wished you could gather them for a presentation or a chat without them having to travel for hours? Conferencing software that can be used by individuals from their home/work computers has been available for some time, but most users have found it to be rather cumbersome...
Three Nordic specialists will present three different web-conferencing platforms and participants will through online-participation discuss what criteria they find of importance when choosing.


Join us during your lunch break for an hours long discussion on which net-conferencing platforms are really usefull and how to choose them. Please register (on this page) we have a restricted number available. You will recieve information on how to log on in your e-mail in one or two days. Registration is free.
