Text-based Live Chat 

 

Tinychat

  • Tinychat delivers dead simple video conferences without the extraneous ad-ons and inconvenience, making video conferencing an accessible, uncomplicated experience. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux; with Firefox, IE, Safari, and Chrome; and there is a version available for iPhones. You can have up to twelve people in a room with HQ video, protected by passwords and moderators, share your desktop with them, and your conferences can be recorded and embedded on your website.

LectureTools

  • LectureTools provides a range of student response options plus it allows students to
    • Take notes synchronized to lecture slides
    • Draw on and save the instructor’s lecture slides
    • Pose clarifying questions that can be answered asynchronously during class or after class
    • Self-assess their understanding during lecture.

Skype

Calls to other users of the service, and in some countries to free-of-charge numbers, are free, while calls to other landlines and mobile phones can be made for a fee.
