electronic meeting
<messaging, conferencing, meeting> /e'lek-tro'nik mee'ting/
The use of a {network} of {personal computers} to improve
communication that takes place in a meeting. The computers
are used for typically 30-50% of the meeting. They do not
eliminate conversation, discussion, or humour from the
meeting.
Electronic meetings are effective with as few as two
participants and with over 100 participants. Participants can
be face-to-face in a meeting room or distributed around the
world. They may all be participating at the same time or
different times.
