My personal experience:
 While abroad in Australia, I was enrolled in an education class that was via video conferencing. One teacher was giving one lesson but two several Universities. My classmates and I found this extremely beneficial because there was constant interaction between the students and the teacher. This was a very good learning experience and I hope to see more of it in the near future.
