The use of web-conferencing in the college of veterinary medicine at Washington State University

This article presents a review of Web-conferencing and evaluation data from veterinary students and animal owners participating in Web-conference events. Web-conferencing allowed for high-fidelity transmission of images and adequate transmission of audio by off-site instructors. Geographically distributed participants found Web-conference software easy to set up and to use. Participant satisfaction varied with the type of participant; the highest satisfaction rate was from pet owners and the lowest from veterinary students in a core course.
