Les téléconférences a l´Université du Québec

Over the last three years teleconferencing has played a growing role in the administration of the University of Quebec. This article describes the development of this teleconferencing system from both technical and organisational standpoints and summarizes the studies which have been conducted on the psychological and administrative effects of using the system. It includes a short discussion on the future modes of teleconferencing. Also included is a brief description of a more recent project in which the computer is used to allow communication between students taking the same course in different cities in the province.
