Fishbowl Seminar Series

 

Within a totally glass encased transparent room, the CESG Fishbowl features a wall-to-wall whiteboard, screen and projector, Smartboard, surround sound and camera to facilitate local and remote collaboration. The Fishbowl anticipates and makes possible an era of tele-seminars where researchers from other universities, domestic or international, can deliver seminars from their home institutions featuring video of the speakers as well as slides.

Please contact Dr. Rajendran if you would like to participate. We usually use Cisco’s Webex system for conducting tele-seminars. This is a reliable and secure system that only requires a web browser with Java enabled. The following documents contain a step-by-step procedure for connecting:

    • If you are the speaker, please look at this 
    • If you are attending remotely, please look at this . Please keep your microphone muted unless you want to ask a question.  This will keep down background noise.
    • In case you are asked for a password, please enter “conf“.
    • All time specifications are given according to US Central Time Zone.
