Abstract

This paper presents an extensive evaluation of various Distance Learning (DL) and tele-teaching techniques, based on the experience gained over the past 6 years using free software and commercial web-based solutions, and including live participation of DL students. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the various tele-teaching options that have been implemented to deliver highly sophisticated petroleum engineering classes to students worldwide from two universities in College Station, Texas (server location) and Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany (teacher's location). Based on the enthusiastic students' feedback, it is clear that they enjoy tele-teaching and learn from it even more than they do from conventional courses. This paper is a follow-up to the papers SPE 134440 and 124748, which were well received by the audience who suggested further investigation into these techniques.
