“…Overall, we have ascertained that videoconferencing challenges the tutor more than the learner. Apostolopoulos et al (1996) ask whether in the future high-quality multimedia courses delivered at a distance by machines will be more common than inferior tutors teaching physically face to face. It may be that this will be so, but in the meantime the human tutor is the most important element in a distance-learning programme, as well as being the most difficult element to "fine-tune".…”
This paper analyses the psychological, technical, administrative, organisational, institutional and general pedagogical problems encountered during Phase 1 (the trial phase) of a trans-European distance-learning project. Using basic-rate ISDN videoconferencing for remote interactive tutorials, Phase
