E-mail has been a great communication tool for years. Instant messaging programs let you talk to friends quickly.
Have you ever wanted a tool that combines the usefulness of e-mail contact features with the real-time convenience of a chat program?
The solution might be Office Communicator 2007 for Windows (Mac Messenger 7.0 for Mac), an instant messaging program now available to ECU faculty and staff. With many advanced features, Communicator 2007 works with your Outlook address book and calendar so that:
• You communicate securely with ECU colleagues
• You can refer back to saved conversations in your Outlook mailbox
• You can see when a colleague is available to chat
But Communicator 2007 is so much more than an instant messaging program:
• Hold computer video/audio calls w/students (coming with Outlook Live, Spring ‘10)
• Switch from a one-to-one call to a conference call
• Share documents through a data sharing session with a class group
• Not in your office? Access Communicator from the Web
Communicator 2007 for Windows is available from download.ecu.edu . Sign in using your piratemail address/passphrase and choose the Microsoft Applications category. Mac users should download Mac Messenger 7.0 or use the Communicator Web Access application.
