In many countries, the demand for jobs in the conventional education system far exceeds the available job offers. Under the right circumstances, open and distance learning systems have proven that they can provide quality education and training to many people at lower unit costs than conventional education systems. In remote or sparsely populated areas, it is not economically feasible to provide the full range of educational opportunities and vocational training through the conventional institutions.

Prominent IT skills are today needed outside the group of dedicated specialists and the common use of Internet has put a new demand on the skills of both the teacher and the everyday man. The IT generation does not even put up with the computer as a pure information tool – the entertainment industry is rapidly growing very fast on its behalf.[

Proceedings e report

The book describes the activities of the consortium member institutions in the framework of the TEMPUS IV Joint Project ViCES - Video Conferencing Educational Services (144650-TEMPUS-2008-IT-JPGR). In order to provide the basis for the development of a distance learning environment based on video conferencing systems and develop a blended learning courses methodology, the TEMPUS Project VICES (2009-2012) was launched in 2009. This publication collects the conclusion of the project and it reports the main outcomes together with the approach followed by the different partners towards the achievement of the project's goal. The book includes several contributions focussed on specific topics related to videoconferencing services, namely how to enable such services in educational contexts so that, the installation and deployment of videoconferencing systems could be conceived an integral part of virtual open campuses.
