OT: Seeking webinar solutions.....

[jim]

I'd like to do a short training class online, but my students (about 65 of
them) are spread across the US.

The solution seems to be to do a webinar, but the pricing is not really
transparent for some of the lareger providers (I HATE when you have to give
out your email address, phone number etc. just to get the damned price - if
I wanted to be bothered by some pushy salesman I'd go to a used car lot).

Any ideas or experiences with webinar software or service providers?

Thanks!

May I ask what is the nature-subject of this webinar?
Asking out of curiosity.

Will you have video, slides, chat, voice (most probably yes)...

I have used various technologies...

Software training for a local accounting software package. They have users
across the US and want us to do a small educational webinar.

The ideal solution will show the teacher's desktop, send sound of course,
allow users to submit questions via text (sound would be nice too) and to
limit users to only invited users.

Have your students acquire a disposable email address and not use their
real phone number.
