Banner Ads are one problem if ooVoo is to be used in education.
We would like to evaluate ooVoo to use for providing K12 interactive
classes to homebound or rural distance learning homes as well as
between small rural schools who need to share a teacher in an extended
classroom environment. Thus, ads should be at the discretion of the
teacher (homework, special changes in schedule, next lessons, tests,
grades, etc.) and/or the principal/administrator/etc. It's a great
place and system if modified. It would also be useful if it could be
locally hosted at a school or a central location with our broadband
bridges and communications for HD or at least SD. We would like to use
it as the client for distance students when we provide broadband to the
home, hospital, school, etc. and a good laptop with integrated WebCam
that we can remotely control. We currently have LifeSize HD teacher
systems in our SMART Schools distance learning classrooms. So, can we
specify a fixed IP address for the student to login to their class
through the ooVoo login via secure ad banner link or if we host it on
our systems or if we have ooVoo host it. Can we develop it ourselves?
(We're windows for 19 years and linux too, since ' 92.) We would be
glad to share or contribute appropriately. We have ideas on how this
use could benefit ooVoo in many ways.
