Synchronous conferencing
Overview
Synchronous conferencing
is the formal term used in
computing
, in particular in
computer-mediated communication
,
collaboration
and
learning
, to describe technologies informally known as
online chat
. It is sometimes extended to include
audio/video conferencing
or
instant messaging
systems that provide a
text-based
multi-user
chat function. The word
synchronous
is used to qualify the conferencing as real-time, as distinct from a system such as
e-mail
, where messages are left and answered later.
