Cisco Spark provides collaboration spaces in the cloud

OIT Communication Technologies (ComTech) is offering Cisco Spark, a cloud platform that provides secure collaboration spaces for teams.

Spark spaces feature video conferencing, whiteboards, document sharing, message threads, and screen sharing all in a persistent space. Remote team members who are outside the physical meeting can also view content from the whiteboard via the free app. Spark can be used on a desktop computer, mobile device or on the Spark Board, a touch screen with a camera.

Basic Spark accounts are free. To register, use your @ncsu.edu email address to sign in to the Cisco Spark website.
