Abstract :
A new method for teaching biomedical engineering over long distances is under development. The method is based on a videoconference system, a pressure sensitive whiteboard, a document camera, a computer with video projector and a traditional blackboard. The method is developed in order to increase the cost-effectiveness of the educational process, i.e. using the teaching capacity in a more efficient way
