Online Meetings
For all the OTAN online workshops we use Adobe Acrobat Connect software (formerly Macromedia Breeze). It is software that sits on a server and only prompts one small applet to be downloaded on the computer of the person taking the workshop. It is very expensive, and that is why OTAN shares this tool with the other leadership projects (CALPRO, CASAS). We will also make the use of this service available to the agencies for a nominal fee (to cover the time our trainer would spend on the initial orientation). http://www.adobe.com/support/connect/ http://www.otan.us/training/index.cfm?fuseaction=courses&catid=10830&type=1

Another similar service is WebEX and they have single user licensing (monthly or pay per use)

Another service I experienced recently is GoToMeeting https://www1.gotomeeting.com/en_US/entry/entry.tmpl
