STIP

Not compatible with World Wind 1.4

What is STIP?
STIP (Student Teacher Interaction Program) allows you to use WorldWind as a teaching tool. STIP works over a local network or the internet. Several teaching methods allow you to take control of WorldWind remotely and interactively use WorldWind as a presentation tool. This video gives a quick overview of all the features available.

WARNING: The following documentation is far from complete, read at your own risk

Setting up an ad-hoc session
You should now be set to start using STIP.
 * Find a jabber server (look here for a list of public servers).
 * With a normal jabber client connect to the server, registering an account if you don't have one already.
 * Check if the server has a conference service. If not, find a new jabber server.
 * Join room STIP on that conference service.
 * Start WW on the host computer, load the STIP Host plugin and start it, entering credentials for the server you just logged into.
 * Once you see the host computer join the STIP room, make it a moderator.
 * Start WW on the client computer, load the STIP Client plugin and start it, entering credentials for the server you just logged into.

Setting up a permanent dedicated server
You should now be set to start using STIP.
 * Pick a jabber server to install (look here for a list)
 * STIP should work with most servers, as long as they have Multi-User Chat (MUC) support.
 * Your choice will depend on the platform and other requirement, but I recommend ejabberd.
 * Install (and if needed run) the jabber server of your choice.
 * Use a normal jabber client to register an account and connect to the server.
 * Register more accounts
 * STIP can use just one account, but it is highly recommended to create seperate accounts for hosts and clients
 * Join room STIP on the default conference service.
 * Make the room permanent and make the host account an administrator.
 * Start WW on the host computer, load the STIP Host plugin and start it, entering credentials for the server.
 * Start WW on the client computer, load the STIP Client plugin and start it, entering credentials for the server.
