Office Hours: Coming to a Computer Near You
Inside Higher Ed: "As reported in The Harvard Crimson on Monday, teaching fellows (Harvard parlance for TAs) for the course this semester will begin holding real-time, online help sessions for students this week. Using free, Java-based software, students can log on, chat with each other (via text or microphone) and even “raise their hands” with the click of a button, which adds them to a queue on the teaching fellow’s computer."

With technology like this, it is getting to the point where students will no longer need teachers. Or teachers will no longer have go to the school to teach. I'd imagine there are going to be difficulties along the way. I do not see many students being aided by this method as they would be from actual face to face teacher interaction.
