"Apple
CU-Seeme, AT&T's videophone and the CAL-Tech CERN project were among the first real video conferencing systems that introduced people to live video communication," states Mr.
In addition to WebCT, this course also used the following systems for synchronous learning: (a) text-based conferencing systems: ICQ & WebCT chat; (b) audio-video conferencing systems: Netscape CoolTalk &
CU-SeeMe; (c) enhanced virtual systems: ActiveWorlds [less than]http://www.activeworlds.coml[greater than] and The Palace [less than]http://www.thepalace.com/[greater than].
This document presents a step-by-step guide to using three desktop videoconferencing applications:
CU-SeeMe, iVisit, and NetMeeting.
Video conferencing--using
CU-SeeMe technology--can add a fascinating dimension to learning across all grade levels.
An "all-in-one" solution, iSee-U2 consists of two high-quality color, digital video cameras, two microphones, Artison's Privateline communications software for Windows 98, White Pine's
CU-SeeMe communications software for MacOS 8.6, and free DSL set-up.
White Pine's
CU-SeeMe Web is a technology that enables live audio, video and text chat to be embedded in a standard Web browser.
The first Web browsers, Mosaic and Netscape, the video conferencing software
CU-SeeMe, and the first Internet directory, Yahoo!, all started at universities.
On the client side, the
CU-SeeMe Pro, has a redesigned user interface, multiple screen views and audio and video enhancements.
Using software such as
CU-SeeMe from White Pine (www.cuseeme.com), professors will begin to hold desktop video-conference small-group discussions and to talk one-on-one with students wherever they are located.
Both a Web site and a
CU-SeeMe reflector (which allows primitive two-way video-conferencing to work on the Web) delivering messages "live" from the great beyond, Heaven's clever robotic agents and seemingly multiple gateways play within theological tropes of belief and faith.
