Abstract
The presence of International professors in any faculty enriches the overall experience of the students and provides students different point of views in the subjects they learn. Sometimes it is not possible for a university to have more international faculty members because of many factors, including financial resources. In this work we present a model that introduces students to international professors in real-time via video conference. This model has proven to be very useful in our university as professors are able to teach a group of students in a campus located in the Southern Region of Mexico while being in their own countries. Professors from Japan, Europe and North America have taken part of this implementation in the last few semesters and the results on student satisfaction are shown in this work. The model presented in this work uses a real-time remote teaching scheme, supported by on-campus IT resources that are available in any lecture room of our university so no investment was needed for new hardware, in order to implement our model. The model allows students to develop and strengthen their digital and communication competencies as the courses taught in this model uses technology as a learning tool.
