A course on Italian safety rules and regulations has been delivered to the personnel of a University clinic using videoconferencing, based on an ISDN-2 connection through a multimedia PC. The goal was to evaluate the efficacy of this technology for the training of hospital personnel. To assess it, the trainees were divided into two groups, one at the trainer's site and the other in the University. Comparing the evaluating questionnaires that both groups were asked to complete at the end of each session (based on the comprehension of the subject taught), significant differences were found only when the quality of images was very poor (for technical reasons) or the level of interaction was low. The price/performance ratio was considered good, but there are some technical and psychological problems that must be taken in account before using videoconferencing for training.
通过多媒体个人电脑，基于综合业务数字网-2连接，利用视频会议为一所大学诊所的工作人员开展了一门关于意大利安全规则和规定的课程。目的是评估这项技术用于培训医院工作人员的效果。为了对此进行评估，将受训人员分成两组，一组在培训师所在地，另一组在大学。比较两组在每节课结束时被要求填写的评估问卷（基于对所授主题的理解），发现只有在图像质量非常差（由于技术原因）或互动水平较低时才存在显著差异。价格性能比被认为不错，但在将视频会议用于培训之前，必须考虑一些技术和心理问题。
