    Using Skype - 26/8/09

    I have used Skype quite a bit over the last few years.  We have used it for connection to our IT support group  to set up software and go through processes with it. This saves them travelling  a 120km round trip to help us each time we might need it.
    The conference we attempted on Wednesday 26th August would have to be deemed as unsuccessful. We did have the same issues last semester when we tried to use Skype for a large conference. The software copes more than adequately with audio input for small groups or one-to-one and is great for text chat but as soon as you put a large group of people together all trying to connect at once over differing bandwidths it fails dismally. 
    I have found myself chatting to many other students from this subject, though, on Skype, since everyone had to sign up to it and every couple of days someone else initiates a chat about something that is happening within the course, or just to chat generally. This sort of interaction is definitely valuable and an excellent way to utilise the software.
    It is interesting to note that when the Australian Catholic Network rolls out over the next few months and our bandwidth improves, Catholic schools are going to be encouraged to use Skype to communicate between schools in preference to their “land-lines”.
