Site Index & Quick Reference

VISITview® is a teletraining and real-time collaboration tool developed for the National Weather Service VISIT program to meet the needs of science training of their forecasters.  While it emphasizes functions needed to realize these goals, it can be used for any lawful application where image animations, zooming, colorizing, and the like are needed. It uses an integrated whiteboard/blackboard and provides for a chat function as well as page-by-page quizzes and external links, to connect instructor(s) to many students. You may also record voice and all "annotation" activities for synchronized playback has been added to VISITview®'s capabilities.
