Hi,
because of Corona a lot of teaching is switching to online distance
formats. I am not yet directly affected, but thinking about the future I
was wondering what options exist. Please share your ideas and experiences.
- Skype: (Only) the whole screen can be shared AFAIK; so this would work
in principle. Doing this with many participants may not be so great, but
I guess everybody can judge for themselves.
- Zoom: is it true that only a certain application window can be chosen
to be shared? I like that approach, but for gretl with its many windows
it would be a problem.
I've used Zoom fairly successfully (I think) but haven't yet tried
sharing gretl over it. You have the option of sharing your full
desktop, which I guess would work. But if you shared the gretl main
window, would its other windows come across? I suspect not but I
need to test. (I did try sharing gnumeric, and its "goal seek"
dialog didn't appear to others in the session.)
