Abstract
In this paper three teaching experiences of supervising and discussing architectural design projects are compared. They were developed to extend access to students living in different states of Brazil. It also provided an opportunity for testing whether the quality of teaching architecture at distance was at least the same as on site. The first teaching experience was carried out through on site teaching. The second was developed through a low cost real time collaboration system, RTCS, based on a hosted service. The third involved developing the same activities through a low cost RTCS based on dedicated server. The results show, particularly in the third experience, that the distant education in architecture is viable and effective.
