At IU, we use Breeze for our online synchronous “classes”. However, I just attended an online presentation with the good folks at WorldBridges in which Skype + WebHuddle + text chat were used to create a pretty slick alternative to Breeze, now re-branded as “Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional” since the acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe …. hmmm … doesn’t quite roll off the tongue does it? But … I digress. This set up included real time voice, video and text chat with desktop sharing. I haven’t seen the finished “recording”, but it will likely be clunker than Breeze (I mean) Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional recordings given that the individual components will remain on separate platforms. However, for the money (free), it did the trick! Now, what to call it? Since Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional is already taken, how about skuddle-chat? I knew that MBA in Marketing would come in handy one day!
