15 Questionnaire (2) Evaluate this lecture Compare with live lecture Speaking opportunity Access web materials?Easy to operate?Useful during lecture? About WebCT Overall

16 2-Year Comparison of participants in Japan (2003 vs. 2004)

17 Fruits and Challenges OH trainees in 3 countries successfully connected real- time. Satisfaction graded as 7.0/10. Visual quality better in prior attempt, but overall evaluation higher in this attempt. Satisfaction of participants may have been effected by overall balance (> visual and audio quality) Participants in Japan had opportunity to study beforehand using WebCT. Opportunity to speak graded as “unsatisfactory.” WebCT could be utilized more during lecture to encourage active participation.
