Abstract

Students miss classes for a number of reasons. With emerging technology, providing asynchronous access to that class is possible. Rural Advanced Community of Learners (RACOL) is creating a new standard in delivering distance education to students in rural Alberta. RACOL uses a combination of the Community of Learners Models of Instruction, n-way broadcast quality real-time video classes in which the instructor and all students can be seen by all participants, state of the art visualization using interactive whiteboards, individual computers equipped with workgroup software, and provision of asynchronous access for students who may miss a lesson. This paper describes the system developed to record synchronous communication and to provide asynchronous access to that material by students or teachers.
