Using an online tool for distance tutorial sessions: a hands-on experience
Abstract
Elluminate Live! is a commercial product specifically designed to teach virtual classes and for multipoint video conferencing. In this article, we analyze its usage to perform remote tutorial sessions in the module Computer Science taught in the first year of the Mathematics degree at the University of Valencia. This tool not only constitutes a feasible alternative as a complement to face-to-face sessions but also provides a series of advantages. In particular, it facilitates cooperative work and allows the lecturer to both supervise the work of several students simultaneously and to give explanations for the entire group.
