本文描述了一个试点项目，探讨了教师候选人对使用桌面视频会议技术提供模拟现实世界实习的教学经验的看法。意见收集自调查问卷和反思性论文。据说视频会议软件模仿了实习的某些方面，如：直接指导、提问、辅导，以及在很大程度上依赖音频通信的一对一场景。考生还报告说，该技术的局限性（例如，慢帧速率，无法捕捉学生的面部表情，以及无法同时捕捉学生的图像和书面作业的创建）限制了它模仿实习的能力。这些限制导致候选人建议，教育学院可以使用视频会议来增强但不能取代现实世界的实习经验。
This paper describes a pilot project that explored teacher candidates’ opinions of the use of desktop videoconference technologies to provide teaching experiences that mimic the real-world practicum. Opinions were gleaned from questionnaires and reflective papers. Videoconference software was said to mimic certain aspects of the practicum such as: direct instruction, questioning, tutoring, and one-on-one scenarios that rely to a large extent on audio communication. The candidates also reported that limitations of the technology (e.g., slow frame rates, inability to capture students’ facial expressions, and inability to simultaneously capture images of students’ and written work as it is created) constrain its ability to mimic the practicum. The limitations lead candidates to suggest that videoconference sessions might be used by a Faculty of Education to augment but not replace the realworld practicum experience.
