Offering online support can be a tricky subject in terms of web based collaboration. Website support has many different delivery points. They can include a walk through of your completed website, access to a member only support forum and a wiki. Each of these serve a specific purpose and are administered differently.
For instance we administer a website walk through via remote desktop. This allows us to best capture a personable setting for the demonstration.
When conducting these demonstrations we collaborate via Microsoft SharedView. This free, lightweight tool serves this purpose well and only requires a Windows Live ID to begin the collaboration session.
To begin the setup process:
- Download the application and install it on your computer
- From your desktop use the "Start" or Windows icon to locate the application. Double click the Microsoft SharedView icon to open it
- Next: Sign in with your Windows Live ID
- Once signed in: Choose Start Session if you are the presenter and Join Session or the link in your invitation to enter an existing session
When presenting, you'll begin with the toolbar showing 1 participant.
Clicking the participant button will open a box of options to invite others, distribute handouts for the demonstration, or chat with the participants.
