Southern West Virginia is best known for the breathtaking beauty and rich resources of its Appalachian Mountains. Though the mountains have nurtured the regions culture and identity, they have also served as a challenge to higher education. WVU has faced this challenge head on, utilizing the latest technology to bring quality instruction to the region. An interactive video network, affectionately called IViN is WVU's newest distance learning initiative. Two-way video and audio intereaction, via terrestrial phone lines, allows students in Southern West Virginia to see, hear, and talk to instructors in Morgantown as if they were in the same room.
Telephones provide the audio interaction between instructors and students.
