The WiZiQ virtual classroom tool runs in Flash and contains many (although clearly not all) of the features associated with expensive commercial systems....

I've gotten many, many questions about this and finally have an answer. Here's a product with much of the functionality as the big boys: Chat, VOIP,video, and an object-oriented whiteboard (one of my favorite features, and one missing from several commercial products). Check out www.wiziq.com (pronounced Whiz + IQ like the test). Live demos scheduled regularly.
