[Web4lib] video conferencing over the web

[Erin R White/FS/VCU]

I've seen Skype used a few times in a classroom/group situation with great 
success and minimal technical headaches. With the new version, you can do 
video and screensharing calls for free - the only cost would be the 
purchase of webcams and mics.

I just discovered Dimdim today (dimdim.com) - might it meet your needs? It
looks like you can try the pro features (which would include webcam 
sharing)
free for 30 days.
