| − | * Not sure this would work for us. Seems like just a place online to share files. You can share your desktop view with another member, but that's not really the same as a "conferencing" system.

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
- Seems like we may be able to create individual views because one person can pause the webcam of another without affecting the global view.
|
- Limited individual student flexibility (all students and teacher see the same display)
- Video quality is not as good as others - actually it's unintelligible.
- 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
- Requires powerful computer, if not video is terrible (worse than Connect!).

| e/pop [3]

- Individual flexibility, people can move and reshape windows to best suite needs

| Other multi-media conference platforms?
