Course Delivery Using Videoconferencing

Videoconferencing to deliver instruction:

• Gives kids classes they would not normally get because of distance, both semester and year-long
• Allows for many in-service activities, department meetings, and collaborations for and among staff
• Utilizes one originating teacher and a facilitating teacher at each connected site
• Requires the use of an originating teacher who is certified and who is given more time to prepare
• Requires that students and the facilitating teacher be active participants in the learning experience
• May require other telecommunications, such as email and the Internet
• Allows for flexible scheduling that incorporates project-based instruction

Examples: Barrow, AK and Western Heights, OK
