Impact 2006: Tuesday night: Vendor Displays
The last event on Tuesday night was the opening of the vendor displays. Here's some of the things I found.
As usual, there were a lot of venders hawking their wares. However, I did find a few interesting things out.
- CoursEval has built a WebCT powerlink that will automatically display links to course evaluation surveys from within WebCT courses. They are interested in having some places test this out.
- Centra had a rep there who had heard about our provincial web conferencing pilot. They mentioned that in August they will be releasing a new version of Centra that will have full macintosh support, incluidng remote desktop support. They are also beta testing a Centra Powerlink for WebCT 6.

Apreso provides a way to record lectures and stream them. Apparantly they were talking to some people at the
U of S and we have a system in place. Contacts include Ed Pokraka, and Dion Rowney when he was in DMT. They just release a new product: "Apreso podcast", to assist instructors with setting up and distributing podcasts of their courses.
