Technology to use:
Invitees:
Welcomes to Brian and Pam
purpose of meeting is to check various meeting technologies
using 1280x720 Wirecast resolution
Austin showed screencast of Cmaps running at UoE
Mouse does not show through screencast
screencast has lag of around 10s
will try HarmonieWeb ' s screencasting next meeting
Delay in screencasting is 11 seconds or so
size of maps may be a problem with screencasting
lag may also hamper interactions
mouse is now visible
typically have 1 person engaging with subject (s) and 1 driving tools
Virtual technology introduces ' challenges ' for existing methodology
SP - check Henrick ' s solution to lag problem
needs some thought about how virtual world can best be exploited for Cmaps , eg compared to Skype
also depends on purpose: personal elicitation vs audience
needs trial concept-mapping sessions
possible trial based on PMESII tools
protocols useful/necessary
reducing delay to ~3s would be desireable
perhaps use port 80/HTTP route for Cmaps
Action on S P: try HTML scripts with Brian
Cmaps can run in synchronous editing mode
Austin demonstrated shared editing facilities , but no-one else saw!
delays perhaps not too significant
JeffD , Gerhard asked to leave SL for modality test , go to openvce.net and use backup routes
JeffD able to use chat applet
Austin demonstrated twitter feeds
No sound on openvce.sdp channel
Gerhard able to use external chat
twitter status and video overlap on backup screen - layout may need some work
scrollbars around chat tool need work
