Abstract
This project focuses on synchronous audiographic web conferencing (SAC) as a delivery tool and aims to develop a set of pedagogic application models for its use in distance education. This project promotes SAC as a delivery mode for distance education, representing a technology that is readily available, but currently underused. It aims to supplement the portfolio of remote delivery methods by taking advantage of a multimodal, media-rich technology that has a high potential to reach out and draw in a wider range of learners through more direct involvement, appeal to different learning approaches and styles, and enhanced social collaborative presence at a distance.
