Telepresence in vocational education

Tiia Rüütmann, Head of the Centre for Teaching Excellence of School of Engineering at TalTech wrote a post in Linkedin about introducing telepresence robots into her course. During her classes Prof. Rüütmann uses active learning methods therefore teleconferencing falls short of expectations and teaching happens only in person, however telepresence robots seem to have bridged the gap and in her post Tiia expressed satisfaction with the results.
