Files 
Agenda builder will place text, html,
gif, jpeg, wav, au, and PowerPoint
file types in the agenda. You can rename the agenda
items by right clicking the names to the right of the agenda
item icons. Drag and drop them in any order you wish. You
can insert more folders and drag and drop files into the folders.
Whiteboard 
This tool allows you and your students to graphically interact. While
still talking, you can use the Whiteboard tools:
pen, highlighter, shapes, eraser, text, etc. to draw on a
white screen in the Media Window or on your graphics. You
can highlight, circle, underline, etc., type equations and
other text with the text tool, and even Snapshot your Whiteboards
to the agenda for later use. Finally, please note that
Whiteboards appear blank until you formally Begin
Session.
Web Safari 
This allows for collective web browsing. Students see what you see
as you follow links. Web Safari uses Application Sharing of your default
browser, so rather than having to retype all of your saved
URL's, you can use existing Bookmarks or Favorites.
Because this is based on Centra's application sharing
architecture, you can even use the mouse as a pointer during
the Safari, and all of your users will see what you
are pointing to.
Application Sharing
In the same way that you share your browser when using Web
Safari, application sharing allows you to share other
software, such as Excel, Mathmatica, Word,
etc. Applications do not have to reside on student machines
but must be resident and open on the presenter's machine.
Survey 
and Evaluation 
Create surveys and tests using the evaluation tool for synchronous
or asynchronous use. You will be able to view the student
results and you can allow immediate feedback to your students
as well. You can set the tests to be anonymously taken or
to track individual performance.
