ProjCom utilizes the extensive value of PlaceWare to facilitate our on-line training and document review requirements.

Content Features & Functions

PlaceWare eLearning allows instructors and learners to view, access and interact with a variety of content forms in a variety of ways. PlaceWare eLearning offers:
  • Multiple Dynamic Content Capabilities—incorporate multiple content types and dynamic media within learning events—including PowerPoint slides—enabling instructors to incorporate polling, collaborative web tours, and other dynamic content into the presentation.
  • Anytime PowerPoint Import—upload PowerPoint presentations prior to the learning event and even on the fly, after the session has begun.
  • Application & Document Sharing Without Learning Plug-ins—show anything and share any application (even your entire desktop) with learners during the session without software plug-ins.
  • Controlled Web Touring—lead tours of websites enabling learners to view every aspect of the instructor's navigation through the target website.
  • Collaborative Web Touring—allow learners to individually navigate and interact with live websites to review information, interact with web-based simulations, assessments, or surveys, and view flash movies and recorded video. Throughout the collaborative web tour, instructors maintain the ability to return learners to the training session.
  • Collaborative Text Slides—capture notes, brainstorms, or other text content during the learning event for all participants to view. Text can be copied and pasted to and from other applications.
  • Snapshots Image Capturing—use PlaceWare Snapshots to capture an image of any visual and incorporate it directly into the active slide set where it can then be displayed and annotated.
  • Collaborative Whiteboards—graphically express ideas and concepts within the live learning environment with PlaceWare's multi-participate, interactive whiteboard capability. Each participant receives a unique "virtual pen" color to distinguish the contributions of different individuals.
  • Flash and Recorded Video—incorporate recorded video into your training delivery-enhancing the quality and dynamic nature of the overall learning experience.
  • Instructor's Ability to Preview Content—preview any uploaded content during a live learning event, enabling them to "look ahead" in the learning delivery to prepare for discussion topics on future slides. Review other uploaded slide sets, and content from one slide set can be copied into others. All preview activities are visible to the individual instructor, but not to learners or other instructors.

Interactive Learning Features & Functions

PlaceWare eLearning allows instructors and learners to interact with information and each other. PlaceWare eLearning offers:
  • Learner Mood Indicators & Live Feedback—enable learners to communicate their virtual "moods", communicating laughter, comprehension, applause, questions, "hand raising", and more to instructors.
  • Learner Handouts—provide learners with copies of active slides during training, offering learners the presentation, pre-session note stems, supporting resources, and even homework assignments.
  • Live Text Chat—enable learners to participate in an interactive one-on-one or group chat session during a live training delivery. Instructors maintain a separate, always on, chat capability.
  • Text-Based Questions and Answers Moderation—enable learners to privately post questions to instructors or content experts who may then choose to respond privately (to the learner), publicly (to the entire audience), or in a one-on-one chat session. PlaceWare automatically saves all questions and answers in a log viewable by instructors.
  • Learner Polling—find out what your learners really think with polling slides that allow for Yes/No, True/False, and Multiple Choice questions. These slides can be created prior to the learning delivery or on the fly during a live session. All polling information is maintained in the database for post delivery reporting.
  • Assessment and Survey Tool Support—test online with web-based testing tools where learners are directed to a web-based examination or survey. Learner responses are captured within the testing tool and (depending on the tool) can be graded and uploaded into your Learning Management System (LMS).

On Demand Learning Features & Functions

PlaceWare eLearning allows instructors and learners to view, access and interact with a variety of content forms in a variety of ways. PlaceWare eLearning offers:
