Video conferencing

What is synchronous online learning?
This type of leaning is when the instructor has to help learners overcome potential barriers caused by technology, time and the way interactions with learners and the instructor occur.

What is dimdim?
Dimdim is a free web conferencing service where you can share your desktop, show slides, collaborate, chat, and talk and broadcast via webcam with absolutely no download required for attendees.

Who uses dimdim?
Online learning, training, educational and non-profit organizations who want to save on travel expenses or have remote students positively love Dimdim. Many of these customers, like Ohio State University, start with Dimdim Free and quickly graduate to Dimdim Enterprise onsite. And since Dimdim is already integrated with popular learning management systems (LMS) like Moodle and Claroline, you don’t need to be the class valedictorian to instantly start web meetings.

What is unique about dimdim?
Dimdim is unique in 3 major ways. First, Dimdim is extremely easy to use. We freed Dimdim of complexity, gave it a very simple user interface, and designed it so the people you invite to your meeting do not have to install anything (even to broadcast audio or video!) A single click starts your meeting.

Dimdim features
Dimdim is easy, open and affordable web collaboration software and comes with a robust set of powerful features that just keeps getting better. Dimdim scales to thousands of meeting attendees, provides world class availability and comes in multiple hosted and onsite configurations including downloadable open source and a free hosted version. Dimdim does not require anyone to install any software and is the easiest way to meet freely

Why is dimdim different from other video conferencing program?
