XMeeting - Powerful Videoconferencing Solutions for Mac OS X
XMeeting is a SIP and H.323 compliant and Open Source videoconferencing client for Mac OS X (10.4 and later). The current version of XMeeting is 0.3.4. Historically, XMeeting has evolved from ohphoneX. However, XMeeting has been rewritten from scratch and uses a totally different software architecture than ohphoneX.
Although not yet being a 1.xx release, XMeeting is quite stable, has good interoperability with other clients and provides many unique features such as the sophisticated Address Book integration. Much effort has been put into the Mac OS X native GUI. We think the result is worth it!

Howstuffworks "Video Conferencing Education"
At its most basic level, video conferencing in education connects remote students to teachers. On a more exciting level, it also leads students on virtual tours, brings far-away experts on camera for interviews and allows kids to try out their fledgling foreign language skills on their peers from other countries. While such activities might have been difficult in the past due to travel costs, time constraints and inconvenience, classroom video conferencing can offer a work-around solution. Video conferencing lessons for schools can also ignite an interest and enthusiasm for learning that traditional teaching methods sometimes can't.
