Background: New medical schools have been opened in the eastern and southeastern regions of the country. They are also in great need of basic medical science teachers. However due to security reasons over the past two decades, teachers from the established universities do not desire to travel to these medical schools for lectures. The objective of this study was to develop a synchronous classroom conferencing system to teach basic science courses between two general purpose technology enhanced classrooms of two different universities-Istanbul University (IU) and Istanbul and Harran University (HU), Urfa-located 1,500 miles apart in Turkey.
