Using Google+

During Moodle Hack/Doc at Reed College we’re going to experiment with using Google Hangouts in Google+ to share our presentations with those not at the event.

You’ll be able to participate in the Hangout in two ways:

  1. Join the Hangout via Google+
  2. Watch via the On Air video stream on Youtube

Joining via the Google Hangout will allow you to watch the presentations in real-time and participate via chat. The On Air video stream has a seven-second delay, and doesn’t allow for interaction.

Watching the Presentations

To participate via Google+:
