Performance methods in tele-lecturing via a public communication network

Lecturing is usually performed with all the contributors in the same physical space. All communication channels can be used because of proximity and, consequentially, the information given to the audience is most comprehensive. The process of lecturing can be most interactive, which gives means for building up the professional intuition. One trend in modern teaching methods is searching for higher productivity by decreasing the amount of commuting and dislocations of people – local education centres are set up and lecturers are commuting instead of the students. This puts more burdens on the lecturers who repeat courses for smaller groups. Less time is consequentially available for research. Modern information and communication technologies allow for distributed lecturing needing no course repetitions at different locations. Development of methods for achieving performance in tele-lecturing the working students at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Ljubljana is a contribution to this pedagogical novelty.
