I'm very interested in this as well. I've grudgingly been using Blackboard Collaborate for my otherwise free software-driven Wikipedia course.

One thing to look at is Big Blue Button. It's FOSS designed as an educational webinar platform. I have not looked into it extensively, but will report back if I do -- and would welcome others' take on it too! (I believe it requires Flash. Blackboard Collaborate requires Java. I kind of doubt it's possible to escape this kind of requirement at the present time...but I always hope to be proven wrong!)

Hi all!

I was recently invited to join a webinar using Fuzebox, and am concerned about their privacy practices. The particulars: I was given an access link that went to the inviting party's website and was required to give a full name and ZIP Code in order to be granted access to the webinar on Fuze. On the Fuze webinar site itself, I would have had to have downloaded their proprietary software to my desktop if I desired to stream the webinar and not supply my phone number. Umm...no thanks.

I'd like to be able to recommend an alternative platform. Any recommendations, cryptolovelies?

<3s,
