Web conference

Web conferencing refers to a service that allows conferencing events to be shared with remote locations. In general the service is made possible byInternet technologies, particularly on TCP/IP connections. The service allows real-time point-to-point communications as well as multicastcommunications from one sender to many receivers. It offers information of text-based messages, voice and video chat to be shared simultaneously, across geographically dispersed locations. Applications for web conferencing include meetings, training events, lectures, or short presentations from any computer. 

Web conferencing is a simpler form of video conferencing whereby participants sit at their own computers, and are connected to each other via the internet. It’s ideally designed for meetings and conferences involving a small number of people. The University supports the Adobe Connect web conferencing application. Users will need to provide their own webcam and headsets which can be attached to a PC or laptop.
