Since rich media is defined by wikipedia as "interactive" media that means things like clickers, I guess. My experience with clickers was awful, but it may not be typical, I don't know. I had so many technical problems and students were actually angry that they spend money on stuff that didn't work more than half the time, that I gave up on them this year.
Maybe there are getting better.....????? I know that Sue can fill you on having online conferences. The system we used a couple of weeks ago for a discussion of the new Undergraduate Education in Psychology was great. I did not need anything except my laptop and an internet connection (I have a built in camera and speakers). I was able to see and hear people, and very interestingly there were background conversations going on with people typing to each other. My point though is that it was really GREAT and very engaging! Are you also interested in other plain old multimedia things? At one time I think we on tips all shared some youtube urls for short videos we use a lot. I have lots and lots of them; as well as I periodically check the scientific american website for their one-minute podcasts that I download and put into powerpoints. So there's a tiny start.
