Unhangouts - A platform for unconferences

Unhangouts - A platform for unconferences | Digital Delights for Learners | Scoop.it
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:

"Unhangout is an open source platform for running large scale online un-conferences. We use Google Hangouts to create as many small sessions as needed, and help users find others with shared interests.

Think of it as a classroom with an infinite number of breakout sessions. Each event has a landing page, which we call the lobby. When participants arrive, they can see who else is there and chat with each other. The hosts can do a video welcome and introduction that gets streamed into the lobby. Participants then break out into smaller sessions (up to 10 people per session) for in-depth conversations, peer-to-peer learning, and collaboration on projects. UnHangouts are community-based learning instead of top-down information transfer."

appear.in - Video Meeting System

appear.in - Video Meeting System | Digital Delights for Learners | Scoop.it
appear.in is an easy to use video meeting system in your browser
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:

"No login or downloads

appear.in aims to make it super-easy to start talking over video. Therefore, we do not require you to register an account or download anything. The link to your room is all you need to connect to those you want to talk to. All you need is yourself, someone to talk to and a supported browser.

Easy to invite anyone

You can create a room whenever you want to, and use any room name. In fact, you don't even have to visit our front page, you can just type in 'appear.in/roomname' in the address bar in your browser, and you'll enter directly into the room! Anyone who enters the same room link as you, will come into your room.

Peer-to-peer

appear.in uses peer-to-peer communication, meaning that the video streams are sent directly between you and the people you are talking to. Nothing is stored on our server and all the communication is encrypted over SSL."

Getting the students to work through the plan is not hard. It's getting the teachers to produce one or getting the teachers to have the students produce on is the problem. It's much easier but way less effective to do CELTA on PowerPoint.
