Video Conferencing

Synchronous online learning is basically learning that occurs at the same time, doing step by step with the instructor at the same time. Dimdim is a perfect sample of synchronous online learning. Using this Dimdim software allows you to video conference with other, share documents, and communicate with each other via web cam. The advantages of dimdim is that it is free. You can video conference with up to 20 people for free, but other special features are included in a different version of dimdim that can also allow you to connect with over 2o people at a time. And you can connect with anyone in the world as long as others have ample internet access. Dimdim security is limited along with the control over those who organize these online video conferencing, and less control of those who attend, to either connect or keep their attention or actions.
