The Value of Web Conference Rooms with White Board Capabilities

Early this morning I had a web conference room training. It was a typical training at least I thought on communicating using your Veretekk system. It had been awhile since training on that subject in the web conference room.

Actually I have screen shots of most of the screens in Veretekk so all I need to do is open up the file. Today I learned a lesson though... if it has been awhile since you have taught on a piticular subject you are probably better off with just doing new screen shots as you talk. At least for me anyway. I spent more time looking for the correct slide than it would have taked just to make a new screen shot.

Once you become comfortable with training... taking a screen shot is so simple and a natural progression of training in the web conference room.

I'm very spoiled now with the white board capabilities, especially the little pointer. When you are training on a detailed website such as Veretekk it sure is easier to have a pointer to point out exactly what part of the page you are talking about.

I can still remember getting accused of sounding like a flight attendent when I started web conference room training in Veretekk. I was doing the same configuration training every week and it was before we had white board capabilities. Back then we had to explain to people where we wanted them to click.

I would start off my web conference room training with Go to your main system home page and look at the left hand side at the horizontal bars that vertically go down the page. NO Wonder HUH...

Now I just take a picture and put it on the white board. Then we have this handy little pointer so instead of explaining we can just point to it. Boy have I come a long way since then, now I rarely talk about the same subject so now more flight attendent voice dull drums for me! Oh how I love web conference rooms for training!

Did you know you can get your own web conference room to use for FREE? It's a fully functional 3 person conference room with all the bells and whistle's. The only kicker is... it turns into a pumpkin at midnight. One good thing though the next day you can go get another one. The whole purpose is to let you have a room and use it. To get your FREE conference room go to www.bestconference.net
