transmit information as present professor -that supports the work of
the satellite professor in order to assist and guide the students in
the receiving site- satellite professor -presents the content of the
course of the emitting site and is not located in the same physical
space as their students; the transmission of the class is carried out
via satellite- and the videolinking professor -presents the content of
the course, conference, discussion groups, etc. from a physical space
different from where the students are situated; the transmission is
realized by videoconference. Student centered model The students,guided
by their professor, learn by themselves performing individual
autonomous learning activities. To achieve this, technologies such as
textbooks, class notes, compact discs with tutorial exercises, videos
and the Internet allow the student to investigate and analyze
information related with the course content. Group centered model The
students learn course content and develop attitudes, tolerance, and
collaboration in group work by participating with their group members
-who pertain to different locations and cultures- through electronic
group discussions moderated by their professor. These activities are
carried out through different Internet applications; such as Net News,
First Class, Lotus Notes and Lecturer, just to name a few. The Academic
