I provide hard-skill application training almost exclusively, and every single application I tech is web-based. Up until now I have been using application share to share my browser so as to control more fully what people are seeing. I typically provide a demonstration that has limited interaction (maybe pass control around a little and some exercises to fill in on the workbook) and then provide the URL for the app in chat and set the users to completing a few tasks on their own.

I've been experimenting the last few days though with Web content sharing, which allows the user more free reign and opportunity to explore the applications more fully. I finding I can still maintain control by having a separate text file of the URLs I need available to quickly cut and paste URLs to update the dispaly. Whenever I update the URL for the Web content share it snaps all the participants back to my view.

If you are providing hard-skill training on web-based apps how are you tackling it?

Yes, that may or may not be true, depending on what access the participants have.

Because the Web content share actually opens the page in a browser so that the participants can navigate indepently and experience the live site. Therefor the participants would have to have access to the internal intranet site to be able to see the pages you want to show.

In my case I am almost exclusively showing pages from a secure network, so when I load a page through web content share, if the partcipant has not yet authneticated to the network they will get hit with an authentication screen before the page loads.
