“Go To Meeting” by Citrix
This is a conferencing service that is billed monthly. It offers great flexibility and many interactive features. Go To Meeting is one of the more popular web meeting tools out there. The package offers a great deal of flexibility and a lot of useful interactive features, as well as tools for the instructor to gauge if the participants are “paying attention.”
Features include: chat, specific application sharing, recording, phone and computer audio, share either whole screen or select applications, plus pen, highlighter, and spotlight tools. Users say it’s ideal for 15 (personal version) or 25 (corporate version) people, and is among the easiest and least expensive.
Citrix also offers Go To Webinar, which is ideal for groups of around 1,000 attendees. It allows host polling, but is focused more on participant listening than on participating and chatting. You can choose to “mute all” or selectively “unmute.”
Go To Training, recently launched, lets you send content to attendees prior to training, post downloadable documents that can be viewed and referenced during sessions, and welcome up to 200 attendees.
