Summary:

Recent rapid improvements in technology and the increasing bandwidth of Internet access in most parts of the world have led to an increasing popularity of synchronous solutions for instruction. But real-time instant interaction and possibility of non-verbal information transfer has led to a change in paradigm of how e-learning is being envisaged in its traditional sense. On the one hand, it lures academics to fall back to their traditional habits of face-to-face instructions and, on the other, it promises to provide the best of both worlds. Various new challenges are emerging from the use of synchronous techniques along with some very exciting opportunities of improving the quality of instruction and learning.
