What is Instant Messaging and
what can it do for you?
Instant Messaging, commonly
referred to as ‘IM’, is a real-time collaboration tool that can include text
chat,
whiteboard, file transfer, application sharing, voice and video. IM enables you to have real-time conversations with one or more
individuals.
The IM client used with our
Live Communication Server (LCS) is MS Office Communicator 2005.
Use Communication to not only chat, but instantly share documents, work
together within an application and brainstorm with a shared whiteboard.
With Communicator, you no longer have to schedule a meeting or wait for
a return email.
You
may already have an application installed for instant messaging, but
this application is run off a dedicated University server. This IM
is already connected to our LCS server, making it even easier to use in
our environment.
Using
this IM program will makes it a snap for students to keep in touch with
classmates, work remotely with team mates, or get help remotely
from groups such as
Laptop Support.
With
our LCS, your coworkers and colleagues are already be connected as soon
as they install Communicator! Faculty and Staff can use Communicator to quickly
share documents, get instant answers to questions, or get instant live
assistance remotely
from the Helpdesk.
