About the HTML Viewer
The HTML Viewer provides an alternative for accessing Distance Learning sessions from behind restrictive firewalls. It is also convenient because there is no required download of client software. The HTML Viewer applet allows attendees to view presentations as HTML pages within a Web browser. Attendees who use an HTML Viewer connection can hear the audio portion of the session through a standard telephone conference call, but they cannot use the following capabilities of Siebel Distance Learning:
- Presenting (acting as instructor)
- Participating in Application Sharing
- Using Standard Chat Lines or Private Chat (users can receive messages and send messages to everyone)
- Asking Quiz Questions (can answer)
- Recording sessions
- Conducting Follow-Me Browsing (users can follow)
- Hearing audio portion of sessions through Voice Over IP
- Viewing detailed information about other session attendees
- Using the Raise Hand option to notify the instructor that you have a question
NOTE: The HTTP Gateway should be installed on the Siebel Distance Learning server if you plan to have attendees use the HTML Viewer. For information on performing this installation, see To configure an HTTP Gateway.
