PART A - Brainstorm Session

The following is a youtube link to a recent group conference using Google Hangout with my group in CEP 812.

  1. What web conferencing tool did your group use? Google Hangout
  2. What were the advantages to using the web conferencing tool to discuss this project? There were many advantages to using this web conferencing tool. The first is that we already began using a google doc for our sharing of ideas. We all already had gmail accounts so being invited to use google hangout by one of our members was a simple process. Another benefit was that we all were able to visually see each other, whoever would be talking would become the bigger image on everyone's screen. Google hangout, and all google applications are free which is a huge advantage.
  3. What were the disadvantages to using the web conferencing tool to discuss this project? I honestly can't think of many disadvantages of using a web conferencing tool. We weren't able to record it easily. One of our group members recorded using another program, and uploaded to youtube in order to share with the rest of the group. I believe this process could be a little simpler if wanted to record through google hangout itself. Because google hangout is free, it may not have some of the features that some of the other conferencing tools have. But in my experience so far I am unaware of what these features could even be. I was extremely satisfied using Google Hangout.
