14. Why I don't use it any more:
    1. Has two major flaws for online teaching: * and **
    2. It's unreliable: sometimes slides cannot be seen, get stuck or there're VOIP problems.
    3. Because of Java it takes ages to open sometimes - which makes it unreliable, especially when I host the meeting / lesson
    4. Topic
    5. Probably because of integrated recording, there's always latency, which can make dialogues funny. One needs time to get used to how to communicate in this classroom.
    6. Topic
    7. I don't use this virtual classroom only when I have to record the meeting - then I switch to WIZIQ (pro)
15. Why I think it's special and worth using
    1. Great looks :D and possibility of user manager, administration and reporting
    2. Good because of its simplicity
    3. Possibility for students to work both synchronously and asynchronously. Interactive plug-ins, such as Quiz, MP3, Active button, Diagrams, YouTube, Poll etc.
    4. Everything about this classroom is so simple and user friendly (except the audio latency)
    5. Excellent built in features, such as quiz/poll/webtouring/timer - quite interactive
