<div dir="ltr"><br clear="all"><div>Chauncey, Andrea, Yamil and I tested using GoToWebinar yesterday and here are some of the results.</div><div><br></div><div><ul><li>Frame rates and audio were good with no loss in frame rates. However, if we were to pursue this it would be good to reexamine with a larger more typically sized groups.</li><li>Recorded the presentation and the audio (not video of individuals watching). GoToWebinar saves it with its own formatting to convert to WMV or MP4. I have not pursued it with the support desk but I have not been able to convert it to MP4 but was able to get it into WMV. The GoToWebinar conversion software crashes at about 24% completion.</li><li>GoToWebinar allows for 3 types of users, organizers, panelists, and attendees. Organizers and panelists can present and chat.. Attendees can only chat with panelists or organizers and there is a function for attendees for raising their hands and the organizer(s) can unmute them to ask a question. </li><li>All can speak if unmuted by the organizer.</li><li>There is also a polling function that could be potentially used for voting.</li></ul><div><br></div></div><div>The C/W MARS account allows for access up to 101 users including the organizer and we also have a GoToMeeting account for up to 20 users. The GoToMeeting is simpler and is designed for more direct exchanges between a smaller group of users.</div><div><br></div><div>If the Oversight Board wanted to use this, I'm open to using the C/W MARS GoToWebinar account for board meetings so there would not be a cost to the community.</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div>Tim Spindler</div><div>C/W MARS</div><div><a href="mailto:tspindler@cwmars.org">tspindler@cwmars.org</a><br><a href="mailto:tjspindler@gmail.com" target="_blank">tjspindler@gmail.com</a><div><br></div><div><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><b><font size="6" color="#519230" face="Webdings"><span style="font-size:24pt;font-family:Webdings;color:rgb(81,146,48);font-weight:bold">P</span></font></b><b><font size="2" color="#519230"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:rgb(81,146,48);font-weight:bold"> Go Green - </span></font></b><b><font size="1" color="#519230" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(81,146,48);font-weight:bold">Save a tree!
