1 Encourage student interaction with peers.
2 Have a set of back-up plans if network connection is bad, including speakerphone.
3 Have a reliable support on the "receiving side" !!!!
4 Survey students and keep a class log, this will help in detecting strategies that work.
5 Use a second pair of computers to transmit different components of the conference.
6 Turn off video in one or both directions, to keep audio clear.
7 Accept that this approach is not necessarily good for every student, and some won't be happy.
8 Re-think your teaching style and habits!
