Hello,
Does anyone have any recommendations for software that can integrate video, powerpoint etc for the delivery of online course content?

I have seen these online courses that have video on the top left corner of the instructir delivering the lecture, powerpoint slides on the top right and a whiteboard/chat functionality on the bottom.

Thanks!
John

We use Elluminate. It works well with slow modems, too. You can check out a demo and participate in a real session at http://www.elluminate.com/demo/live_demo.jsp

You may also want to look at Adobe Captivate and TechSmith Camtasia.

Look into Wimba http://www.wimba.com/  It is cross-platform and can do what you describe.  Adobe Connect is good for incorporating PowerPoint with streaming audio.
