Definition Audiographic web conferencing refers to a technology that enables participants to hold voice communications over the Internet, accompanied with a variety of visual (graphic) presentation aids or collaboration tools. Such aids and tools may include: - slide displays,
- shared drawing boards,
- text messaging (chat),
- application sharing,
- survey and feedback tools,
- guided browsing, and
- live or streaming video.
Related definitions on the Internet: The important aspect of the concept is the use of the voice as the dominant communication channel, while displaying graphics as a support. This scenario can be compared to a face-to-face slide-supported presentation with an invisible presenter, or to a set of Power Point slides with audio narration, although audiographic conferences offer far more potential for interaction and collaboration, for example through the use of shared applications.
