[McKiernan, Gerard [LIB]]

Colleagues/

 

An associate of mine from our College of Veterinary Medicine is in the
process of evaluating Web Conferencing Systems for their Distance
Education /Learning program.

In addition to an extensive literature review that I am conducting,
he/we greatly are greatly interested in Any and All Personal/
Professional Recommendations of Web Conferencing Systems that others
currently are using and/or formerly used for Distance (or Other)
Education(al) initiatives.

We are particularly interested in Comparisons Of Web Conferencing
Systems.

Please Post Any and All Recommendation On The Blog Entry At

License / Capacity / Linux / Mac OS X / Microsoft Windows / Audio
Support / Video Support / Chat Support / Desktop Sharing Support /
Upload PPT / Upload PDF 

BTW: Citations/Links To Recent/Key Reports/Literature On Web
Conferencing Systems Would Be Most Appreciated / Thanks !!!
