| Virtual Reality | Virtual reality environments can be used for sychronous meetings and collaborative work. Some institutions have created campuses within virtual reality environments, like Second Life. This link will bring you to an informational video about the New Media Consortium Second Life Campus. | Example

| Example Course | Online courses are difficult to demonstrate, as they are time and experience dependent (just like face to face courses!),
but we have put together a short presentation that shows an
online course site and briefly talks about some of the important
issues in developing an online course.
Developing an online course requires considerable time and
commitment. Departments have developed online courses for various reasons:
