Classrooms or Meeting Rooms

Characterizing the typical distance learning classroom is nearly an impossible task. There are numerous means of conducting distance learning, but the one we are most concerned with here is IDL. The essentials of an IDL classroom include some visual representation of the instructor and the course materials (this may be as simple as a TV monitor or as complex as giant projections which fill an entire wall with the visual image). The key is to insure that instructor and instructional materials can be seen and heard.
