“Students always enjoyed the interactive conferences. That's a net gain in itself. Video teleconferencing is an immediate and involving experience that made the abstract arguments of the course more relevant and livelier. Pedagogically it's great to have the author of a work you've read in class present to discuss the work and to relate it to the students directly.”

Dr. Eyal Amiran, Instructor of The Digital Object: Metaphysical Psychologies of Digital Space

“Video teleconferencing has provided the Japanese language learners the opportunity to speak with native speakers in Japan without the pressure of an instructor “gazing” at them. It has allowed the students to communicate with less pressure from the instructor. At the same time, they feel they should be more responsible to learn the language so they can effectively communicate with the partner with whom they are speaking with via video teleconferencing.”
