Sudbury MA, September 1, 2003 - 1stWorks Corporation today announced
hotComm DL, a powerful set of online communication services designed to support the growing need for synchronous (real-time) tools in the online learning environment. Teaching professionals, distance-educators, and students can all benefit from this truly synchronous technology. 1stWorks flexible architecture allows for on-the-fly configurations, so whether it's a one-on-one collaborative session or a group lecture hotComm DL is the perfect choice.
Interactive text-based messaging, full duplex VoIP, content presentation tools, and full motion video are included in hotComm DL. No need to use a costly outside conferencing service with hotComm DL. On-Demand voice and video conferencing is available in just a few clicks, right from your desktop.
Teachers can deliver an entire lesson or discuss a complex concept in an online session using the many collaboration tools included in hotComm DL. Co-browsing web pages, application sharing, file a sharing, interactive whiteboard, text-to-speech conversion and audio recording are all included. All sessions are secured by the 1stWorks Network and only authorized users are allowed access to a hotComm DL session. Encryption technology is applied to all data streams and session controls are available to event moderators to prevent unwelcome or accidental interruptions.
hotComm DL is a system, not specific software. You can use any of the hotComm Windows clients to join a hotComm DL classroom. We recommend that students use hotComm Lite and that instructors use hotComm CL for its more powerful session management capabilities – remotely enabling or disabling features for the group to ensure the most effective learning experience.
Add hotComm DL to an existing online system or install it as a standalone service. No other product offers this much power and flexibility at a price that is this affordable.
