Platform Pros Cons
Adobe Connect [1]
  • Flash/Action script would be easy to prototype new ideas
  • Web-enabled, participants don't have to download anything, just go to a URL
  • Recording built in
  • New "break-outs" allow small group discussion
  • Limited individual student flexibility (all students and teacher see the same display)
  • Video quality is not as good as others
  • Video capability when lots of people have webcams, not much flexibility to reshape/zoom/crop video feeds.
MS Conference XP [2]
  • Individual flexibility, people can move and reshape windows to best suite needs
  • Video quality seems good, but that might be because I tried it out on a local dedicated server.
  • Requires dedicated server and network support
  • Requires installation and setup that are a little cumbersome
e/pop [3]
  • Individual flexibility, people can move and reshape windows to best suite needs
  • Any cons?
MS Live Workspace [4]
  • Pros?
  • Cons?
