I have been using BbC for about a year now that has include the teaching of normal classroom lectures (ITM366) and collaborative status reporting sessions (BUS696). I have found the reliability and functionality of the software impressive. Both of the characteristics excede that that I have experienced while using Skype. The use of BbC for collaboration with students in Vietnam has be especially useful although use of the software mandates a significant amount of training of the student participants to capture the full benefits of the system.
