Do you do any online, real-time teaching or learning?<\/p>\n

A client wanted to learn a bit more about Excel VBA, so we arranged a phone call for today. He sent me a couple of workbooks to use during the session.<\/p>\n

The Free Session<\/h2>\n

I thought it might help if we could both see the same screen, so I set up my first training session on WiZiQ<\/a>, where I have a free account. I had attended a training session there in 2008, and it went reasonably well. There\u2019s a whiteboard for interaction, and you can upload files to use during the session. You can also record the session, for attendees to download later.<\/p>\n

The session was set up as private, and I sent an invitation to my client. He had to register and log in, but said the process was quick and easy. If I upgraded to an Organization account, attendees would not have to register.<\/p>\n

A Few Problems<\/h2>\n

It took us a couple of minutes to sort out the optional settings for audio and video<\/a>. I enabled my audio and video, and could allow attendees to share theirs.<\/p>\n

The uploaded Excel files didn\u2019t work too well. Instead of sheet names, I could select \u201cPage 1, Page 2, etc.\u201d from a drop down list. Only a portion of the sheet showed, which was a problem. There was no way to see the VBE, as far as I could tell.<\/p>\n

We gave up, and used the phone instead, with each of us having the same workbooks open on our desktops. That worked fine, as it has in the past.<\/p>\n

Try Again<\/h2>\n

Later, I went back to WiZiQ, and found a Share Screen setting. I\u2019ll set up a test for myself later, and see if that\u2019s a better option. Then I can round up a guinea pig or two, and try an online session.<\/p>\n
