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?
Other multi-media conference platforms?	Pros?	Cons?
