Abstract
A successful experiment conducted at Arizona State University indicates that lack of social contact among the participants in distance education can be overcome. The advantages of distance education were combined with the use of classical textbooks and cooperative learning to enhance the preparation of students BETWEEN lectures. The lectures became more like a social event, with issues being discussed rather than just presented. This paper describes the particularities of the adopted method, as well as measures of success that prove the effectiveness of the system.
