Web conferencing for learning and teaching: Elevate support Google Hangouts

Given the current budget pressures and current usage the Elevate Team have had to shift our support for web conferencing from GoTo Meeting to Google Hangouts.

Google Hangouts does offer some advantages over the GoTo Meeting, and we've previously blogged about the tool:

We are in the process of arranging with IT Services for browser plug-in to be installed in W407, and will be providing a range of staff and student support sessions over the next few months. 

So how do you get started? A good place to start finding out how to use it, is;
