Herramienta para la Teleenseñanza Síncrona en Educación Superior

Most of the times, asynchronous e-learning tools are used to conduct distance education activities in higher education. Instructor and students interact from anywhere anytime. On the contrary, synchronous e-learning tools require the participants in the learning process to communicate live. Real-time interactions in synchronous e-learning resemble those that occur in traditional face-to-face communication, which allows for an immediate feedback from students. In this paper, the design and implementation of a synchronous e-learning tool is detailed. Finally, two case studies of the use of the tool in higher education are presented.
