University of Arizona A Virtual Classroom Experience - Mark Zupan, Syllabus

For students in the Tucson classroom, their counterparts in Silicon Valley appear almost life-size on a curved screen situated across the front wall of the classroom. Remote students interact real-time with life-sized images of both the instructor and their distant classmates. Professors have the ability to switch the video conferencing system to “lecture mode,” sending the image of the Silicon Valley students to the rear wall, behind the students in the Tucson classroom. The Eller College of Business and Public Administration at the University of Arizona implemented a distance learning program to build a model that would utilize modern technology and provide a more virtual experience for the students and professors.
