It all started in 1994 ...
	I.T.I. "A. Malignani" Institute was the first in Udine to realize an ISDN connection in 1994 and has been experimenting for many years the use of videoconference to add new tools to distance teaching and learning. We have directly verified the importance and the effectiveness of this technology in the numerous activities of exchange and cooperation with European and international institutions that we have realized in the last years. In particular, videoconference was used for the Petra project, the trilateral work of our students in cooperation with French and German ones. After a phase of common work in a very experimental Euro-class, they carried on their project at distance on ISDN video connection.
