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.
- Go-to-Meeting: similar problem as with Zoom, I think (but would need
to re-check).
A workaround for the many-gretl-windows problem may be to run a version
of gretl with GTK3 and use the "broadway" technology to redirect the
gretl interface into a single browser window (locally), which could then
be shared in the videoconference. (The build with GTK3 is standard on
modern Linux distros, but the official Windows version is with GTK2.)
Any other ideas?
thanks
