I'm trying to find out more info about experiences various institutions have had with the SONY and/or TANDBERG installations. I'm especially interested in finding out about the software which S&T have loaded: how do the teachers/students feel about the range and adequacy of the language teaching/learning materials? How much is pre-loaded and how much is the responsibility of faculty users/staff to find, test and load? Not expecting total "plug-in and play" but certainly one should be able to have some classes at least up and running from the beginning.
