Re: [school-discuss] Software for tutors

[CM <mplcel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Moodle (it's a very flexible and powerfull Learning Managemente System) 
combinated with WizIQ for web conferences audio-video-chat, could be a 
nice and professional solution.  Both can be used with 0 cost (you 
should make a little search for sites with this features)  Good luck!
