If you are interested in: a) very high quality videoconferencing using the Internet b) multi-point videoconferencing without buying outrageously priced multiplexing hardware c) real-time group collaboration such as sharing JPEG images, Powerpoint slides, sound files, maps d) real-time assessment, such has having a true/false or multiple choice quiz come up after / during the videoconference, and then have the answers tabulated by individual and by group I would highly recommend you check out a product called TeraMedia from TeraGlobal. It is easily the finest new implementation of technology I have seen in a while. I'll tell you up front that the product is currently only for Apple Macintosh, but the company is working on a Windows version, so I am not just promoting this for Apple. You can contact TeraGlobal: Ron Horne TeraGlobal Regional Account Manager TeraGlobal (OTCBB'TGCC') 615-661-8716 [log in to unmask] You can review their product at: www.teraglobal.com, but I can tell you that you really need to see a demonstration of the product to understand its full potential - it is so much more than just videoconferencing!
