Communication for the course

[Javed Alam]

Do you all have a gmail account?

If not could you please sign for it at

www.google.com

and post your gmail account here in this place.

Having gmail account allows us to use many of the communication/collaboration programs from Google.

Thanks

Dr Alam,

Yes Sir. My e-mail address in google is [e-mail].

[Javed Alam]

thanks

[Snezana Aleksic]

My gmail address is: [e-mail]

[Javed Alam]

Thanks all of you for gmail account. I will try to set up a talk system through Google talk.

Please accept my invitation that you will receive through your gmail. Also download and install Goole talk from
here

This program allows text chat, talk through microphone and file transfer etc.

[Javed Alam]

I have placed Google talk on the main page but it does not have file transfer also it does not keep the record of the chat as is done by the desktop client for Gtalk.

I think it will be better if we install the desktop client for Gtalk from here and use it.

http://www.google.com/talk/

For quick talk we can use the gadget for talk inserted on the front page.

[Javed Alam]

Also please follow all the activity listed on the front page of this network. even if it does not have your name. Sometimes your questions are already answered there.

Please post a message here to confirm that you have read all the instructions I posted here and in the introduction section.

[Javed Alam]

I am adding one more tool for communication. I have recorded an introduction video for the class and I have created a voice thread at this web address

http://voicethread.com/share/142882/

Please go first at the address

http://voicethread.com/

and register. It is a free registration. Then use the web address above to get to the voicethread. Once you are at the page you can watch the two videos and then you can leave a comment that could be a video recording. audio recording or text.

[Javed Alam]

Thanks

How about Snezana and William in the class?

[William Stadler]

I have looked at all content in this ning network, and also went to voicethread.com per above.

[Javed Alam]

Good. I am assuming that you do not have any qustions at the moment?

[William Stadler]

No Sir, none at this time.
