Supercourse has provided facilities that permit scientist and lecturers to “chat” in real time, to present lectures in classes thousands of miles away, and even answer participants’ questions. Incorporating video and sound as part of research communications can evoke the scientists. The telecommunication between teachers and students who have never met each other not in the real world but in the cyberspace is an unprecedented privilege introduced to the world of scientific communication by Supercourse. This is what the Economist said “the Death of Distance”. Those who benefit from this greatly are the developing countries in which a lot of factors contribute to poor information sharing among scientists.
