Hi everyone,
I apologize if there is already a discussion forum on this. I just ran across Moodle this morning and only did a quick search of the forums.
My Question: has any one worked with video/audio for training. We are currently trying to put together a web site to tutor/teach the disabled. We were hoping to get disabled students to register, create a profile and then wait in a queue/lobby for a tutor to become available (they would be given information on how long the wait would be). Once a tutor becomes available they would choose the top person in the queue and they would start a one-on-one tutoring session. Video is between the tutor and student is imperative , audio not so much (probably a Talk button), and IM/text messaging only to get over rough spots in the tutoring. We don't want a video chat room exactly, but we want that capability.
We have looked at Macromedia Flash Communication Server, Flash Remoting and FlashMX (client) as a solution. The Tools were pretty flexible, but we were getting some lag time in the audio so we started to look around again. Canfrog has a Video Server that they sell and sees great, but there is a BIG expense and it isn't very "Open" to modifying. Any real time video capabilities with Moodle (or other Open Source addons? I thought maybe I could use Moodle to do some of the administration aspects.
Thanks.
