Real-Time Distance Research with IP Network Videoconferencing:Extending Undergraduate Research Opportunities

摘要

The impact of computer and Internet technology in science and technology education is found in Web-based courses,synchronous distance learning,and scientific research,including telemedicine (1),and interdisciplinary collaborations (2-4).An extension of the use of distance communication is undergraduate research.Internet-based undergraduate research provides geographical flexibility,and the removal of distance barriers promotes diversity and interdisciplinary partnership.
