I tried out the Skype.com You can download and use it for free (between other SKYPE members). The audio and video are super. I thought this might be a useful tool, particularly since some of my students take courses while they are in India… and sometimes I think it would just be reassuring to them to hear a voice and discuss something in a more personal venue than “chat.”
Another software program that is similar to SKYPE has one additional plus. ooVoo (www.oovoo.com) allows up to six individuals at once on video conference.
SKYPE will allow you to have multiple audio, but it will only allow 1 video connection. Oovoo allows you to have up to six. I think you might be able to share files too.
