Dimdim - a virtual classroom. Has a few glitches but works pretty well, is simple and free. Can be server based or used online. I found using notepad to copy paste text was better than direct typing on the whiteboard but it may have been my connection.

wiziq - another free virtual classroom and conferencing host. I have found dimdim better at this stage (simpler) but this is a rapidly evolving area. Found this good blog post on wiziq

LAMS - simple is not always that simple. LAMS (says about itself) 'is a revolutionary new tool for designing, managing and delivering online collaborative learning activities. It provides teachers with a highly intuitive visual authoring environment for creating sequences of learning activities. These activities can include a range of individual tasks, small group work and whole class activities based on both content and collaboration'. Probably ok for control freaks but I find it too tedious and too structured.

Multiple choice generator -
A Complete Multiple-Choice includes traditional (right answer only) scoring with a full item analysis and know/don't know scoring all on the same test. Feeware.
