Collaboration Manager

Powering minds over the internet

eWeb's Collaboration Suite (CS), embedded in the Smartlink Platform, addresses the communications, collaboration and training needs of today's competitive enterprise. Vital exchanges of information, experience, data and training in real-time can be done at a fraction of the time-and at a fraction of the cost-of onsite meetings and training sessions.

The Collaboration Suite offers three different modules for communication needs: Virtual Training Center, Conference Center and Discussion Forum. The synchronous capabilities enable your team to hold training sessions or conference meetings in real-time. The asynchronous capability allows learners to collaborate and communicate in discussion forums at their own convenience.

On one platform, with the Collaboration Suite, you get all asynchronous and synchronous capabilies. No other product in the market place offers all these features at a lower cost. By choosing the Collaboration suite, you are thus guaranteed to maximize your ROI.

Virtual Training Center (click here)

The SmartLink Virtual Training Center is optimized for highly interactive hands on training. This managed virtual lab solution mirrors the traditional classroom lab environment. This solution can be fully hosted and managed by eWebUniversity.

Features:

• Secure VPN guarantees an SSL encrypted communication channel between the platform and the learner's machine
• Student controls the virtual machine and software application using a simple web browser
• Each student’s unique configuration between sessions can be saved and restored (for training sessions that last multiple days)
• Lab administration & scheduling tools allow for controlled environment with minimum variables (thus decreasing support time and costs)
• No software downloads or installations for the learner (on the client side), allowing the learner to concentrate on the training session

Conference Center (click here)

The Conference Center replicates the dynamic interaction in live meetings by providing the participants with capabilities such as: application sharing, text chat, and slide mark-up with real-time feedback.

Features:

• All features in Conference Center are inherent in the Virtual Training Center
• Interface optimized for scheduled or spontaneous meetings and conferences
• Tools needed to replicate the interactions in a live meeting
• Real Time Annotations
• Text Chatting between participants
• Survey and tracking capabilities
• Secure Access through a VPN (Virtual Private Network) will provide you with the highest level of security and a secure channel between you and all the participants in your meeting
• SmartLink Collaboration Server is hosted within your corporate firewalls to provide the most robust security. Licensing the SmartLink platform, with no recurring monthly/hourly fees, ensures the highest return on training related investment

Discussion Forum (click here)

An easy to use discussion forum, the asynchronous module of the collaboration suite, allows participants to post and retrieve online messages that are saved and catalogued within the eTraining courses. The key advantage of this module is that it can be linked into asynchronous eContent or into a synchronous Virtual Training Center session. Moderators can perform all administrative functions to ensure the integrity of the asynchronous discussion forums.

Features:

• Integration of Microsoft ® Office products to enable easy formatting of messages
• Attaching files and documents that can be downloaded on-demand by other users of the discussion forums
• Filtering messages using sophisticated built-in queries
• Easy linking of discussion forums into re-usable eContent (produced by eWeb's Content Management Suite)
