Our second day started with a visit to the Open University of Israel. After a short review of its history Tami Neuthal spoke with us about Shoham - The Center for Technology in Distance Educaation.
We learned about how digital technologies, including digital books, are changing the ways teachers at the Open U teach, and communicate with their students. We learned about the numerous changes these books have taken in only a short time.

But the Open U doesn't only use books. We also visited their video lab.
At the lab we viewed a classroom from which a lecturer can be broadcast to four other locations, and also some small labs where synchronous lessons can be conducted without an "in person" class. Clearly, distance education has come a long way.
