Students wishing to hold online group meetings can now do so for free using Mikogo meeting software. Mikogo is simple to use and their web site has two short videos on how to set up and participate in group online meetings.
Essentially, www.mikogo.com allows a group of up to twn (10) participants share 1 computer screen. The shared computer screen can be operated by anyone in the meeting so different people can share their screen at different times.
Now Mikogo does not share text or audio/video messaging for the group, it is mainly a desktop sharing program, so you would also need to use a chat program like MSN or Yahoo! But considering that it is free, it makes desktop collaboration a lot more friendly! Enjoy!
The SMC Student Council & Alumni is an approved Group on Linkedin. Also, through its council representative it is a member of The Association of MBAs. The SMC Student Council was formed specifically to provide the highest quality support for the graduate and doctoral student community. Its role is to improve the SMC experience for all students. We hope that all students will take an active role in the community.
