Classrooms for Distance Teaching and Learning

This handbook aims to provide a step-by-step guide to setting up a classroom for telepresence learning. Its comprehensive coverage includes chapters on testing it works, guidelines for the full range of users, together with troubleshooting and reference sections. The book also provides detailed case studies of the five learning scenarios developed by the handbook's pan-European authors, which include sites for teaching remote learners, remote and local learners, group presentation and interaction, a single learner, and a learning centre group. The book may be read cover-to-cover, or dipped into for specific information as the reader sets up or fine-tunes his or her own version of an interactive classroom for distance learning and teaching.
