Eedo WebClassVersion 2.1 WebClass is a Web-based, real-time conference and collaboration software tool that provides an effective way to deliver electronic presentations as well as tools to interact with an audience of remote participants.
Eedo commercialises and resells under its brand name a powerful technology developed by Linktivity/Spartacom (http://www.linktivity.com/) and normally sold under the WebDemo label. Eedo commercialises WebClass as a complement to the e-learning platform that is at the core of its marketing efforts (ForceTen). WebClass proves to be an excellent tool for Eedo to demonstrate their e-learning technology, and as a profitable consequence, it also sits well as an ideal complementary tool to offer for purchase to Eedo customers. To find out all of the details about the Web conferencing technology powering Eedo WebClass please read directly the Linktivity WebDemo review in this report. WebClass characterizes itself for a uniquely powerful application sharing module, complemented by excellent live annotation tools, file broadcasting, event recording, text chat, Web touring and voice conferencing over the Internet. As an option, an excellent video conferencing module is also available. Eedo strongly promotes the use of this tool within corporate environments and in such view, it generally undermines the use of the voice conferencing module in favor of the traditional telephone. While this proves to be OK in one-on-one presentations, issues become more complex when you need to utilize an external audio conferencing provider for international participants coming form all countries around the world. WebClass is set up to integrate well with these traditional systems as well, and when not possible the audio over IP functionality provides a quite acceptable alternative solution. By utilizing Eedo WebClass core functionality it is possible to extend a view of your desktop, including documents and open applications, to anyone you may have invited to join your live session online. WebClass stands out for the quality and performance of the application sharing facility, as well as for the amount of fine controls that allow the presenter to monitor an to finely adjust the presentations to varied audiences and to different technology requirements. On the server side, the WebClass' Java-based application allows you to choose from a variety of platform Web servers as WebClass needs to be installed and run from one. To make it easy for customers to connect to one another, WebClass employs a special server application that actively manages sessions while simplifying interconnection through network firewalls. With WebClass, any of your meeting participants can assume control of a meeting, and can present documents or applications from their PC. As a complement to the application sharing functionality, WebClass allows you to extend remote control of a presenter's PC to selected participants for co-editing, collaboration and other applications. A basic Web touring facility is also part of the WebClass set of tools and it is very easy and straightforward to use. Also integrated in WebClass is a powerful and well designed File Transfer facility allowing the presenter to send selected files to one or more participants. Finally the recording and playback facility is very good and it provides excellent controls for the recording of a live session. The live recording can include text chat, content being presented and a full audio recording track. WebClass allows attendees to avoid painful installations or the need to have special browser plug-ins. WebClass' browser-based Java technology allows customers or employees to participate in meetings with little more than a Web browser and an Internet connection. WebClass smoothly integrates with Microsoft Outlook by allowing a meeting session to be scheduled in Outlook from an e-mail produced by WebClass. Another feature of the Outlook integration is the ability to import names and Email addresses from the Outlook or Outlook Express Address Books into the WebClass Address Book.
A general information page with details about the different facilities integrated in this web conferencing tool is accessible at: A free demo can be requested at: I myself have had to go through several formal meetings, sign up a non-disclosure form (http://www.eedo.com/english/products/ Eedo_Software_Evaluation_Agreement.pdf), receive first an on-line training and a set of live demonstrations in order to obtain a permission to access for a limited time their WebClass tool for reviewing purposes. As of today I am still waiting for their permission (!).
