IPY Wimba Picture

Live from IPY!

Live from IPY! events, or 'webinars', use the Internet platform Wimba to allow shared simultaneous viewing of expedition images over the Internet while participants join the research team in real-time through a conference call. The Wimba platform includes other useful functions such as online chat and polling features. To take full advantage of a Live from IPY! webinar you will need either a telephone and Internet access or just the Internet with a microphone. If you do not have Internet access, you can simply join the conference call.

The webinars are archived online after the completion of the live session. Instructions on how to view an archived event are posted under the 'Archived Events' tab.
