Video Conferencing - Videoconferencing is two-way, interactive, live, audio and video. News stations have used videoconferencing for years as a communication tool to enable interaction between people in various geographical locations. As videoconferencing technology is changing, we are seeing an increase in audio and video quality.

Distance Learning - Distance learning is the term for attending classes or training without being physically present during the class. Instead, you connect with an instructor through a videoconference, a broadcast, or a web-based online environment.
