Creating teletraining and real-time collaboration sessions with VISITview

Tom Whittaker
CIMSS

The VISITview tool used by the NWS for creating teletraining lessons is also suited for use in collaborations over the web. Although the teletraining mode uses "pre-loaded" files for the images (pages), the collaboration approach uses common web browsers to present material and provide for interactions among session participants (drawing, animating, zooming, colorizing, etc). This tutorial will show how to develop both teletraining and collaboration sessions.
