...Web Conferencing Programs In response to recent inquiries on web conferencing programs available in the market today, I have researched and compiled a list of some of the top competitors based on cost, options, user interface, and support. With these comparisons I am confident our department will select the best web conferencing program to satisfy our needs. Microsoft LiveMeeting The first web conferencing program to review is Microsoft LiveMeeting. LiveMeeting is a conferencing software solution that integrates into Microsoft Office Outlook and can also operate as a stand-alone web-based application. LiveMeeting has online conference call registration and can trigger reminder e-mails to recipients prior to the web conference. LiveMeeting basic supports up to 150 attendees, offers instant meeting sessions without the need to schedule in advance, and allows users to share specific applications or their entire desktop. For collaboration during the conference, users can use webcams and video feeds for a more personal face-to-face interaction, and even share notes during the meeting. There are polling and survey options, virtual breakout rooms so select members can have a side-bar chat, and a pop-out Q and A window for an on-screen discussion. There is also an audio bridge users can add as well as a session recording option for playback later, which adds flexibility of use.

After investigation it was discovered that the Czechoslovak history from year 1948 was mostly affected only by the external factors. A number of secondary sources are used including textbooks and biographies; both online and print, one of the secondary source was in Czech language. The scope of the investigation is focused on years from 1938 to the final takeover in 1948. Several external examples are used, why external factors were mostly important in Communist take over. Two very significant important factors what happened were the conference in Yalta, and the Czechoslovak-Soviet Treaty of Alliance signed by Czechoslovak president Edvard Benes, but after investigation each of mentioned external factors are important for various reasons.

...CONFERENCE PLANNING GUIDELINES General The amount of planning, committee work, advance deadlines, etc., in part depends on the size conference you are planning. Regional conferences require lots of planning and hard work. Organize Establish regular planning/reporting meetings. Set up email lists. Always make it clear who is supposed to do what and when. Keep minutes/notes of your meetings and use them to follow up. The more you communicate with each other, the less likely you'll have slip ups. Set a Date (12 Months) The general time of the conference should be suggested. Then look at your campus schedule to determine what dates would be best. Consider the size and scope of your conference. Small groups can be hosted nearly any time. But larger groups will require housing, transportation, and food services that might conflict with other campus events. Summers and between semesters/quarters are often better than when school is in session. Avoid football and parent weekends if possible. Check for other major events that might conflict. Considerations for selecting conference dates include: * Enough lead time to assure finding adequate meeting space. * Possible conflicts with other conferences or symposia that the members of this special interest group might attend. * Appropriate time of year for work loads of the proposed audience * Possible conflict with national and religious holidays. Budget/Money When the conference is over, you don't want to be left...
