Audio conferencing services have changed the way distance language courses are being offered these days, however its role does not end here. Audio conferencing can be integrated with video conferencing to create a close replica of a face to face interaction. Instructors would be able to create a virtual classroom environment that would be more conducive to learning. Further, the use of internet based conferencing would also allow for exchange of study material and notes between the students and teachers. Therefore, we can see that the use of audio conferencing in distance learning courses is just the beginning as advancements in the field of web conferencing continue to take place.
