Selecting the right tool – major concerns

Budget => affecting budget of students,

enterprises, and society

Technology (even with budget) =>

integration with the existing infrastructure

CTO&CIO

+ Legal dept. =>

a ‘kingdom in kingdom’

“Costs can add up quickly with large web conferencing

environments - especially with international calls”

“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”

“You'll often have to configure your environment for multi-

vendor alignment so that you don't have overlapping audio,

video, voice and content share channels”

“With the free version - quality is not great at all (but it's free

so I can't complain to much here)”

Real examples and feedback:Limitation factors:

“There is a huge latency problem with 3 participants and

screen sharing enabled however”

Open source => no guarantee

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)



Internet& Intranet

LMS

Web-server

Network storage

Media server

AAA server

Email server

Database(s)

Content management

Authoring tool

User and role management

Document management

Cloud service

provider

on premises

Internet& Intranet

IT services

Screen,

controls,

webcam,

microphone,

speakers

Cloud and Virtualization do not solve it all



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



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



In-Browser technology – examples

Examples are provided in online presentation.
