Abstract

This paper describes pilot experiences of distance learning using videoconference over the public Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). Graduate and postgraduate courses of the Technical University of Madrid (Telecommunication Engineers) form the educational scenario chosen for the experiences. Several phases were defined to carry out the experiments, each one centred around different students/subjects profiles. The first phase has been recently finished and it has been evaluated with interesting results from a pedagogical point of view. Organisational, technical and economical aspects has also been evaluated with the aim of extending these experiences to a larger scale.
