Web Collaboration

What is Web Collaboration?

NIH Web Collaboration uses software and the internet to allow people to communicate in real-time regardless of physical locations, minimizing both the financial and lost-productivity costs of traveling.

Some Sample Uses for Web Collaboration

  • Hold "face-to-face" meetings remotely
  • Rapidly disperse information to users through online lectures and quizzes
  • Allows telecommuters to interact with their onsite coworkers
  • Resolve software questions by temporarily granting a remote support technician permission to control your computer and demonstrate the steps of a procedure
  • Conduct fully captioned eSeminars
  • Your imagination is the limit...
