5 A glance at yesterday integration challenge! The list of services defined by e-learning Framework Summary, JISC, 2004 Source:

6 Selecting the right tool major concerns Limitation factors: Budget => affecting budget of students, enterprises, and society Open source => no guarantee Technology (even with budget) => integration with the existing infrastructure CTO&CIO + Legal dept. => a kingdom in kingdom Real examples and feedback: Costs can add up quickly with large web conferencing environments - especially with international calls With the free version - quality is not great at all (but it's free so I can't complain to much here) There is a huge latency problem with 3 participants and screen sharing enabled however You'll often have to configure your environment for multivendor alignment so that you don't have overlapping audio, video, voice and content share channels Jabber and Skype for Business will not play nicely together out of the box, unless you've integrated the two vendor environments, you end up with isolated user communities

7 Rich choice a paradise or? Looking for a good Web Conferencing tool? Check these ones: GoToTraining, WebEx Training, Pexip, Adobe Connect, Lync, Skype, MyOwnConference, Polycom, Jabber, Jabbster, Yugma, Meeting Burner, ZOHO Meeting, Fuze Meeting, 321Meet, Huddle, Vyew, Sinc.in, Meeting.gs, Twiddla, Show Document, Google+ Hangouts, Facebook, AgreeDo, IBM SameTime, Join.me, GoMeetNow, ClearSlide, etc 15 Free Web Conferencing Tools Top 18 Online Meeting and Web Conferencing Tools Top 15 Learning Management Systems mid-year 2014 Top 8 FREE Open Source LMSs Top 20 Authoring Tools

8 Trying to simplify the complexity Web-based Cloud technology and Virtualization (depends on IT policy public, private or hybrid) In-Browser technology (facilitating access and communications)

9 Cloud and Virtualization do not solve it all on premises Internet & Intranet LMS Web-server Network storage Media server AAA server server Database(s) Content management Authoring tool User and role management Document management Cloud service provider IT services Internet & Intranet Screen, controls, webcam, microphone, speakers

10 In-Browser technology simplifying the mesh WebRTC architecture Internal technical benefits (e.g. for the CTO/CIO): - Replacing mesh architecture - Cross-platform - Making requirements to resources at least predictable - Smaller number of points of failure - Easier support

11 In-Browser technology easierlearning Learners' benefits: - BYOD - easily replacement of faulty hardware - quick preparation for learning process - any location - less troubleshooting - raise hand in more situations - more confidence - higher affordability
