Yesterday about fifty Cambridge librarians went to the Cambridge Librarians Teachmeet event where we heard very short talks on aspects of information skills and technology. One of the most interesting talks was on the subject of Flashmeeting free videoconferencing software.
When using the software everyone looks at their computer screen where there is a large pane containing the speaker surrounded by smaller panes with pictures of the other attendants and then everyone types their comments as the speaker speaks.
The speaker eloquently announced "You have to use a good webcam or else it's rubbish."
I can't wait to find an excuse to try it out.
