NetMeeting

Also found in: Acronyms.

NetMeeting

One of the early collaboration and conferencing programs introduced in 1996 by Microsoft and retired in late 2003 by the company. NetMeeting was bundled as part of Windows and included point-to-point telephony and video calling capability over the Internet as well as multipoint whiteboard and application sharing.

The advent of instant messaging (IM) and other alternatives for online, real-time communication contributed to its demise. Microsoft announced a replacement online meeting service called Office Live Meeting, formerly from PlaceWare, a company Microsoft acquired in 2003. See ULS server.

Background: The idea for attempting a distance tutoring project between university tutors and elementary school students using Microsoft NetMeeting was conceived: (a) to provide a new experience mentoring children for university students pursuing a teaching certificate, (b) for university students to utilize technology in pedagogy, (c) as an outreach to elementary school students in need of academic assistance who may not otherwise have access to such assistance (for instance, students in poorer urban or rural school districts who do not have tutors), (d) to eliminate off campus travel for university students to take part in a mentoring opportunity, and (e) to utilize existing technology and keep project costs to a minimum.
