At Online Educa, Berlin last December, we wanted to show collaboration among the members of Internet Time Alliance rather than just talk about it. It turned out to be the first online conferencing in Educa’s 15-year history. We pulled in six simultaneous feeds by running Skype video conversations within a session of Adobe Connect Pro. Harold Jarche and Jon Husband joined the discussion from Montreal and New Brunswick; Jane Hart, Charles Jennings, and I were on the ground in Berlin.
