Summary

In this chapter, we have seen two ways of adding real-time communication and interaction to our Moodle course, firstly by using VoIP, and secondly by using a web meeting tool. This interaction can be very useful, particularly for allowing students to communicate with each other and with the teacher. For distance education, synchronous tools solve several problems that come from students being in different locations, allowing us to share desktops, presentations, whiteboards, and chat.
