Joe Donlon, a technician for Continuing Education at Confederation College, was approached by an academic support strategist with a problem. The strategist was working in the classroom with a hearing-challenged student, sharing a laptop on which she took lecture notes for the student. However, the strategist wanted the student to be as independent as possible while still benefiting from her real-time notes.

“As a subscriber to Elluminate Newsline, I read about vRoom and tried it out myself,” says Joe. “I thought it had excellent potential in many areas, and after reviewing several collaboration tools, vRoom seemed the best solution for the challenge at hand. I can see its value for other activities as well, like practicing presentations and holding ad hoc meetings.”

Using vRoom with application sharing and chat, the strategist is now able to successfully share notes with the student from anywhere in the classroom via their respective laptops. What’s more, it doesn’t matter that one laptop is a PC and the other a Mac because users interact in real time, regardless of computer platform. Elluminate vRoom turned out to be exactly what they were each looking for: more independence for the student, and for the academic strategist, the ability to provide support in a less obvious way.
