I have used backchan.nl (a free MIT product) in conference presentations, but I haven't yet used it in class. I say 'yet' because I intend to launch it in at least one of my classes in the fall. I may not be able to address all of the student questions during class, but I should be able to after class via the class listserv or discussion board. I'm hoping to provide a forum for some of my quieter students, including students who come from cultures where interrupting the speaker with a question or comment is considered very rude.
Here's the blog post I wrote about it. http://suefrantz.com/2011/02/05/backchan-nl-another-way-to-communicate-l ive/.
