    possibilities how to use is important!!
•   The growing need for digital learning materials and the use of
    distance learning – How to make the relationship between lecturer
    and student self-sufficient of distance?
•   Polytechnics are the main growing area at this moment
•   The growing need and amount of personal videoconference and
    learning equipments.
•   How to use videotechnology to help teaching, research and
    networking by using video technology
