Abstract

The author reports on her experiente in a videoconference workshop held during the Yearly Conference of the Science and Technology Center Association, carried out in the city of Charlotte, Noith Carolina (USA), in 2002.The article reflects the communication researcher's critical and, at the same time, enthusiastic view regarding distance leaming, She shows how the look of the eye, which guides the professor's speech and reaches lhe students-even the most distracted - and imites them for dialogue, does not exist in videoconferences.The author also emphasizes that although the video allows for greater interactivity, we should not forget that education is built in integrated circuits and through a deep look and that, in this regard, any and all technologies aiways leave to be desired.
