Synchronous interactive television, or interactive videoconferencing, remains a vital distance education tool. Despite the rise of asynchronous learning, institutions see growth in live, interactive video for reaching more students effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Distance Learning

Background:

  • Asynchronous online learning has gained prominence, overshadowing synchronous technologies like interactive videoconferencing.
  • Predictions of interactive television's demise due to asynchronous formats have not materialized.
  • Synchronous interactive television has experienced significant growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the issues surrounding synchronous distance education.
  • To examine current and future technologies for interactive videoconferencing.
  • To present best practices for synchronous distance learning environments.

Main Methods:

  • Anecdotal case study based on 20 years of experience at Washington State University.
  • Analysis of institutional development and adaptation to synchronous technologies.
