Include the participants in the conference within the first 5 minutes.

Devote 30%-65% of the period to student activity. For group work, select individuals at each site to

participate on inter-site teams. No more than 10-15 minutes of instructor talk

without some learner-centered response. Use a pre-obtained roster to call on students at

both sites by name. Take as many questions from the distant site as

you take from the local site.
