无论是由于合并还是出口教育战略，许多大学现在都面临着在多个校区提供科目、项目和课程的问题。这种教学和行政上的重复给学生、教职员工带来了巨大的成本。信息和通信技术提供了实现规模经济的潜力，但对学生学习等其他方面的影响尚不清楚。本文的目的是报告视频会议在大学生集体讲座环境下的试验结果。通过形成性和总结性评估，突出了对学生和员工的影响以及支持问题。调查、焦点小组、访谈、录像、考试成绩和反思日记为评价提供了数据。这些结果对考虑用视像会议解决重复问题的决策者以及可能参与在大规模讲座中使用视像会议的工作人员都是有用的。
Whether due to amalgamation or export education strategies, many universities now face a problem of delivering subjects, programs and courses across more than one campus. There are significant costs to students, staff and faculty of this teaching and administrative duplication. Information and communication technologies offer potential to achieve economies of scale but the effects on other things like student learning are not so clear. The objective of this paper is to report the outcomes of a video conferencing trial in an undergraduate mass lecture context. The effects on students and staff, and support issues are highlighted through a formative and summative evaluation. Surveys, focus groups, interviews, video recordings, exam results and reflective diaries provided data for the evaluations. The results will be useful both for decision-makers considering a video conferencing solution to duplication, as well as for staff potentially involved in using the video conferencing in a mass lecture context.
