1984!!!!!! Thanks so much for bringing Lisa and her company to our attention.
The other reason that it is difficult to do searches on "online conferences" is that there are so many sites that use this phrase that really aren't related. It's a lot of sifting and trying of various search words and phrases.
Interesting what you said about assumptions - that came up in our last CIDER session which discussed online course development in China. There is definitely a lot to be learned from what is happening in other parts of the world.
I have enjoyed viewing Terry and Lynn's presentation and the discussions, and congratulations on this work. Just to add that the open source OpenMeeting may also be a possibility. It is also available as a Moodle plugin, which makes it suitable for within-course conferencing, which is how we hope to use it in the Peoples-uni (http://peoples-uni.org). Dick Heller
Hi Dick,
Thanks for bringing everyone's attention to the possible application of OpenMeeting. The following links provide many more names of webconferencing platforms, including free and open-source:

Hello Lynn,
I have been lurking in this conference so forgive me for jumping in at this point.
Thank you for these links. For the past 10 years and more, I have been monitoring the eLearning industry and have created a document that lists Learning Management Systems, authoring tools, web conferencing (which I call virtual classrooms) and others.
Watching the exchange during this conference enabled me to add some more.
The document is available free from my website at www.trimeritus.com/vendors.pdf.
Thanks and regards,
Don.

Hi don,
I frequently lurk in conferences, too.
Thank you for the document, it is a great resource. I thought you might also be interested in this link: 2010 Top Tools: Best in Breed List. The site lists some of the best learning and performance technologies. Many of these are freely available or very inexpensive.
