|
| == What is Dimdim? ==
| | See also other pages in the category [[:Category:Unified communications|Unified communications]]. |
|
| |
|
| It is a tool that you can use to meet people virtually over the web in a virtual room. In the room you can:
| | For more information, see the history of the page. |
| * share Powerpoint presentations
| |
| * share pdf files
| |
| * share web sites
| |
| * share your desktop (if your pc is Windows or Mac)
| |
| * see the meeting leader and one other person (and rotate who this is)
| |
| * hear up to 5 people at the same time (and rotate who this is)
| |
| * chat interactively with each other or privately with a particular person
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| == What Equipment Do I need If I want To Use Dimdim? ==
| |
|
| |
| To use the product you will need:
| |
|
| |
| * a pc (Windows, Mac or Linux)
| |
| * a web browser with flash (Firefox and Internet Explorer have been tested, Chrome does not seem to work)
| |
|
| |
| * If you want to share your desktop, we need to distribute a program to your pc (this feature is not available for linux clients).
| |
| * To talk, you will need a microphone.
| |
| * To be seen you will need a web camera.
| |
| * To hear others your pc will need to be able to deliver sound, eg to earphones.
| |
|
| |
| == Do I need a user account? ==
| |
|
| |
| Someone needs to run the meeting. If that is you, then you need to be a UIB user. You can then book a meeting through [https://skjema.app.uib.no/dimdim the Dimdim booking application], and we will allocate a room for your meeting. The people who you meet with, can be anywhere in the world. They do not need to have a UIB account, but we will need an email address for them. They will be sent a link and a pass-code so they can attend the meeting with you.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == Do I need training to use this product? ==
| |
|
| |
| We hope that this will be a product which is intuitive to use, but because this is a pilot, we would like people to know a bit about the pilot itself, the processes in place and the type of feedback we would like. We also want to make sure that you make a successful start at using the product. For that reason we would like those people who are going to run a meeting to have a session with us, before they start.
| |
|
| |
| For people who are just joining a meeting organised by somebody else, we recommend that you join one of the dimdim customer care sessions, before you go to your first “real” meeting. This will give you a chance to make sure that your microphone and webcamera is working ok, and let you see the product before you use it in anger.

|
| |
|
| |
| == How do I start using the product ==
| |

| :'''[https://bs.uib.no - Or contact us to arrange a demo]'''

|
| |
| == I have some views on this product, where can I share them? ==
| |
|
| |
| This is a pilot, so we really would be very grateful for any feedback you care to give - negative or positive. Is this a product which is helpful or not? Is it friendly or unfriendly? Is it great or is it awful? If you have a view, please send an email to [mailto:angela.tuck@it.uib.no angela.tuck@it.uib.no].
