Abstract
Current technologies have overcome two of the major restrictions that have constrained educators throughout history. Time and space have always limited individuals seeking to impart knowledge. Instruction has been delivered at a definite time and in a specific location thereby restricting access to those who could be at a specific site at a specific time. With the convergence of several technologies, today we can make education accessible outside these traditional boundaries. The educational environment itself is changing from a bricks and mortar concept to one of extended telecommunication networks employed to exchange information and resources across time and space.
