Abstract
In this paper, we describe and discuss the use of
multiple tools in distance learning. We focus on
HyperMirror, but also look at other tools used for
video- based interactions during our HyperMirror
projects.
First, we describe what HyperMirror is. Then we
explain the application of HyperMirror to distance
learning, especially our HyperMirror projects, and
introduce previous studies of distance learning using
HyperMirror. Examples of usage of HyperMirror
along with other tools: standard video cameras, over-
head cameras, and shared work space tools are pro-
vided. Finally, based on these examples, we discuss
the use of HyperMirror and/or other tools.
It became clear that the choices of appropriate
tools in distance learning were important. Also, we
saw that multiple tools can supplement each other
when used together in distance learning projects.
