Quali tools di Web Conference

Buongiorno a tutti,

da una vivace discussione sul tema all'interno del neonato, ma già assai rodato, gruppo di Linkedin "La comunità dell'e-learning", ho cercato di raccogliere un elenco, quanto più esauriente, dei molti tools disponibili per creare aule virtuali sincrone, organizzare web conference condividere il desktop e documenti on-line. in questa lista è presente una descrizione in inglese delle caratteristiche peculiari di alcuni di essi oltre ovviamente ai siti di riferimento.

  2. ciao, mi è piaciuto il tuo articolo anche se mi sono fermata al titolo perchè per me il resto è tedesco...sono una ragazza con tanta voglia di fare e stò cercando info su internet per ciò che riguarda le web conference, se ci sono piattaforme non dico gratuite ma quasi, x portare avanti il mio progetto, se hai notizie da darmi o sai dove indirizzarmi te ne sarei infinitamente grata.

    ps= se sei interessato ti spiego meglio, ho riletto e non è molto chiaro quello che ho scritto effettivamente....a presto
