! Platform !! Pros !! Cons<br />
<br />
|-<br />
! Adobe Connect [http://tryit.adobe.com/us/connectpro/webconference/?sdid=CUFXT]<br />
| <br />
* Flash/Action script would be easy to prototype new ideas<br />
* Web-enabled, participants don't have to download anything, just go to a URL<br />
* Recording built in<br />
* New "break-outs" allow small group discussion<br />
* Seems like we may be able to create individual views because one person can pause the webcam of another without affecting the global view.<br />
| <br />
* Limited individual student flexibility (all students and teacher see the same display)<br />
* Video quality is not as good as others - actually it's unintelligible.<br />
* Video capability when lots of people have webcams, not much flexibility to reshape/zoom/crop video feeds.<br />
<br />
|-<br />
! MS Conference XP [http://research.microsoft.com/conferencexp/]<br />
| <br />
* Individual flexibility, people can move and reshape windows to best suite needs<br />
* Video quality seems good, but that might be because I tried it out on a local dedicated server.<br />
| <br />
* Requires dedicated server and network support<br />
* Requires installation and setup that are a little cumbersome<br />
<br />
|-<br />
! e/pop [http://www.wiredred.com/]<br />
| <br />
* Individual flexibility, people can move and reshape windows to best suite needs<br />
| <br />
* Any cons?<br />
<br />
|-<br />

| <br />
* Pros?<br />
| <br />
* Cons?<br />
<br />
|-<br />
! Other multi-media conference platforms?<br />
| <br />
* Pros?<br />
| <br />
* Cons?<br />
