remote realtime captioning services to students? If so, what sort of
setup are you using? Currently, We are experimenting with the
process. We've cobbled together a system that works as follows;</span><o:p></o:p></p>

color:blue'>Over all, results have been mixed. When things work, they
work relatively well; However, audio reception of questions from other students
is problematic. We've also experienced any number of internet/bandwidth
related issues. I think many of those are due to the fact that students
are typically connected to the net via wireless. I've recommended we hard
wire whenever possible; but that's often easier said than done.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
