Hi everyone,
I'm using moodle to teach adult deaf learners literacy and numercy... is it possible to have real-time cam contact in Moodle so my students and i can sign to each other through the cam contact??
I don't think there's anything that makes it possible directly within Moodle. There are some projects underway to develop videoconferencing features (such as COVCELL) but they're not yet developed.
I'd recommend you use something like iChat (for Mac only) or SightSpeed or WengoPhone or Yahoo Messenger or... there are probably others. However, those are all separate systems, so (for most of them at least) you'd need to ask your students to download the software and then say "Now let's do video chat - open up your video-chat software and we'll talk through that".
It'll be easier in future... but for the present that's the way to go, as far as I know.
