Meetings

Meetings (BigBlueButton) is an open source webinar tool that allows you to share content with your students remotely. You can share your desktop, upload and display presentations, use a white board, use a webcam, and use text chat with your students. It's still a new tool, so it's great for conducting meetings, but it's not ready to be used for recording lectures.
