>Get to know the vitero release 4.3!<
The vitero release 4.3 comprises numerous innovations which complete the existing product range to make vitero available for an even broader user community.
The version vitero 4.3 enlarges the product range. Due to vitero monitoring it is now possible to collect and interpret statistical data concerning the use of vitero (e.g. total usage rate, participant-related room usage). The data can be collected anonymous or personalized. Thus, vitero perfectly adapts to the privacy policies of the respective organization.
Furthermore, vitero is now available for two operating systems. With vitero OS hybrid, Mac users can participate at vitero sessions and use the possibilities of the virtual team room incl. application sharing in outstanding performance.
vitero phone hybrid allows for communication between vitero VoIP users (with headset or hands-free equipment) and participants that use the telephone for communication. Thus, participants that don't have a headset or whose bandwidth is insufficient for good audio quality can individually and flexibly switch to the telephone (parallel to using the virtual team room). This allows for a high level of flexibility and reliability.
Naturally you can use the existing moderation tools with the telephone, too.
The login process has become even faster and more comfortable, too. Due to vitero direct link, participants can now login to vitero sessions even more quickly via a browser link.
The module vitero profi moderation offers innovative feedback possibilities - it supports advanced vitero moderators when presenting decision-making processes with one point and multiple point queries, free text queries, sample solutions, categorizations, sample preparation and much more.
Besides product innovations, the vitero GmbH now offers live streaming of congresses as a service. In addition, gateways to various Learning Management Systems are in process (among others Sitos, ILIAS) which ensure a neat integration of the virtual team room into existing IT structures in addition to the vitero outlook add-in.
If you have questions or if you need further information concerning the vitero release 4.3, please do not hesitate to contact us!

And for good reason since in the course of 2011 a vitero ILIAS plug in will be available which allows the connection of appointments, people and events in ILIAS and vitero. With one mouse click on a button, the ILIAS administrator assigns vitero to a team - and yet the participants can enter the room, without login and without registration in the Vitero Management System. The functions of vitero and ILIAS complement each other perfectly: ILIAS as asynchronous learning platform offers the provision of material which, for instance, can be discussed live in vitero. Thus, the plug in is an enrichment for both sides!
Correspondingly Sarah Durante (project manager at vitero GmbH) informs about diverse fields of application of live e-learning in her speech ‘Chances and Opportunities of Web Conferencing - Best Practice Examples for the use of vitero' on the first conference day from 2:45 to 3:30 pm.

>vitero applied at a course of lectures of the Roncalli-Forum at Karlsruhe, Germany<
The course of lectures "Religion und Gewalt" ("religion and violence") is hosted by the Roncalli-Forum Karlsruhe, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports Baden-Württemberg and seven adult education centres (vhs). For the first time, the particular events are broadcasted to the internet by the use of vitero. This makes it possible to connect participant groups of different adult education centres from around the state.
Due to the use of vitero, the connected participants do not remain silent spectators, but are able to take part actively in the discussions with the respective speaker. Further information is available in this flyer on the course of lectures "religion and violence" (pdf in German, 230 kB).
So far, the following articles about the lectures have been published:
- "Diskussion im virtuellen Raum" (pdf, 360 kB), ("discussion in virtual rooms", published by the german newspaper "Stuttgarter Zeitung" on November 12, 2007)
- "Bildung via Internet" (pdf, 430 kB),
