Virtual Classrooms with Facebook enabled Skype 5

I was reading a mashable.com post about Skype 5 that integrates your Facebook timeline.

This means that now you have all the elements that you normally get from a commercial solution for an online classroom session:

• A chat stream for the participants to converse while a session is in progress
• Video based (conference)/interaction (Skype 5 allows 10 people video conferencing)
• Ability to white-board 
• Ability to "dial-in" using VoIP and normal telephones
• Ability to SMS and interact
• Social media interaction (Facebook integration in this case) 

It will be a good thing to use this and setup teaching interfaces. Since Skype can now deal with dropped calls
(auto reconnection is a new feature), low bandwidth users how the option of joining with the Facebook timeline,  SMS, chat, or audio.

Here's how the new interface looks in Skype 5.0 looks

Here are some links that describe the new Skype features:
