Anyway, I'll certainly have a better look when I have some time. It's great that it is free, but it is a bit more restricted than Yugma in that it only seems to be a screen sharing app and doesn't have some of the other features that Yugma has. Could well be a nice ap to run along side though and certainly worth looking at in more detail.<BR/>Thanks for sharing.<BR/>Best<BR/><BR/>NikNik Peacheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397596906147004693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283339544946232720.post-59255262029707257542008-07-12T14:24:00.000+01:002008-07-12T14:24:00.000+01:00Hi Nik,Nice video on Yugma - thanks for that.

All my students have to sign up and register to use it and it only worked after they downloaded and installed the yugma software. This is a small problem, but annoying because i'm a EFL teacher and it is hard to explain this to some of my students.<BR/>I'm now trying mikogo (http://www.mikogo.com/Welcome.aspx) because it also has a Skype plug-in. For me, the most important feature is switch screen sharing view, so i can see a student's screen and their work. From what i understand, this is not free in yugma. Mikogo has this for free. Also, quicker to setup due to lack of registrations etc.<BR/>I'm curious about the security, primarily for my students, when using screen sharing. I can't find much info on this....<BR/><BR/>btw, thanks for a great blog.<BR/><BR/>Chad<BR/>InlinguaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283339544946232720.post-42180066872252635522008-06-20T16:05:00.000+01:002008-06-20T16:05:00.000+01:00I would just like to add that there is now a viewe...I would just like to add that there is now a viewer component available as well for rapid joining of sessions with no software download/installation required.<BR/><BR/>http://www.yugma.com/Viewer/viewersignup.php<BR/><BR/>-Tom Hudak<BR/>IT Manager, Yugma Inc.Hudakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528855951706568734noreply@blogger.com
