Quarter Past Twelve Workshop - COLLABORATE: Synchronous Interaction
What is synchronous interaction?
Synchronous interaction is online communication that takes place at the same time from different locations. Synchronous interaction can be as simple as chatting via instant messaging through programs such as Meebo or MSN Messenger. It can be a bit more complex with instant voice and video through Skype or Mebeam or it can be as elaborate as hosting an online meeting or class using WebEx Connect or Dimdim!
