What is Web Collaboration?
NIH Web Collaboration uses software and the internet to allow people to communicate in real-time regardless of physical locations, minimizing both the financial and lost-productivity costs of traveling.
Some Sample Uses for Web Collaboration
- Hold "face-to-face" meetings remotely
- Rapidly train users through e-learning lectures and online quizzes
- Allows telecommuters to interact with their onsite coworkers
- Resolve software questions by temporarily granting a remote support technician permission to control your computer and demonstrate the steps of a procedure
- Conduct fully captioned eSeminars
- Your imagination is the limit...
