ENDNOTE - There seems to be an increased interest in looking at the potential of
synchronous technologies, the various types of videoconferencing - compressed video,
DS-3 fiber networks, and IP; and the more recent webconferencing. Synchronous
technologies provide real-time interaction, and while this has its limitations, it also has
its benefits and potential. Synchronous technologies need to be further explored for
what they can add to the asynchronous experience. Only by selecting and using
technologies for what they do best, can we design and develop optimal learning
experiences. (Rosemary Lehman)
