On Sunday March 6 we had a meeting in Zoom at Mircea Patrascu’s Minecraft server. This was at Mircea’s invitation, as reproduced here:

I created a Google+ event for EVO Minecraft MOOC:

• The meeting URL will prompt you to download the Zoom client.
• Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://zoom.us/j/5786977523

I announced that I would attempt a new trick. I will use two computers, both in Zoom, one in Minecraft

• On the one in Minecraft I will share the minecraft window with the zoom meeting
• On the other one, I will be a participant only, and I’ll use Camtasia to record the meeting

I was expecting audio and video with participants, and a record of our activities on Mircea’s server, and here is what I got:

There wasn’t much in the Zoom chat, apart from some scripts to try on Mircea’s server. Here’s what was saved (the trick is to save the chat before the end of the meeting; once the meeting ends it’s too late 🙂

This was an open event held for volunteer webcasters at the CALL-IS EV (Electronic Village) who will be webcasting events from the annual TESOL Convention in Baltimore. Its purpose is to update and familiarize them with BbC.

According to Abe Reshad, who conducted the meeting:

“We had another successful training session this evening.  For those of you that could not attend, this session was a basic introduction to BlackBoard Collaborate as it relates to how we use it for the CALL IS in TESOL.  Some interesting questions came up and we addressed a couple of potential issues that might occur in a webcasting session.  Also, Robert Wachman successfully tested the multimedia file feature in BlackBoard Collaborate.”

Here is a link to the recorded session:
