Going The Distance With Education

Video chat can greatly enhance distance education. Distance education is education where students and teachers are not in the same physical space. Distance education is very useful for adult learners and people with family responsibilities. Distance education also allows learners to learn at their own pace.

Live education video chats can be used to connect students and teachers. The potential benefits of using live education video within distance education include:
* making educational programs accessible to those whose location makes it difficult to attend on-site classes
* allowing students to study at a time that suits them. Live education video chats can be recorded and streamed at a later time.
* interaction with other students through group video chat.

In addition to live education video, distance education also includes online discussion through forums and other web based interfaces.
