Hello,
What about the platform from SeroTek called accessible event? I hear it
is fairly good. For the most part I have used adobe connect fairly
successfully at my college. One strange thing I have found is that if
you do not install the adobe connect plug in the chat works a whole lot
better. However without the plug in you cant do any of the sharing and
so forth in the share and video pods. This is the one thing I have
never really understood about this product.
