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.
