Barriers to use of Skype

• Banned at workplace (12)
• Poor audio quality sometimes (5)
• None (3)
• Probably just inertia to start on something new!
• Don't know enough about it to say
• Can be disruptive of workflow if not used
  properly
• Time zone differences would pose a problem

13
Skype Discussion

• Very useful but is it really ready since a good
  proportion of users are barred from work access?
• Is it still useful to exchange Skype usernames so
  that those who can use it will use it?
• Is it best as a one-to-one tool where those who
  can use it take advantage and those who cant
  catch up when they can?

14
Elluminate

  (Webinars)
