| dc.description.abstract | This paper describes the use of Internet based tools to support
professional interaction and education in a format known
as the virtual conference. The paper discusses characteristics
of the virtual conference and presents data from a case study
in which 550 distance educators from 36 countries participated
in a three week virtual conference. Results from a participant
survey and their comments illustrate that the virtual conference
can provide high quality, interactive professional education.
The asynchronous and distributed format of most virtual
conference activities allows busy professionals to participate
anytime/anyplace. However, the virtual conference does
not ameliorate the need for participants to expend scarce resources
of time on their professional education. | en |
