This article presents results of teaching a personal investments class using a compressed video system which linked students at a send-site with students at two remote-sites. A pre-test, post-test analysis indicates that students at the remote-sites experienced learning comparable to that of students at the send-site. In addition to academic applications, this delivery medium may be of interest to those in the financial services industry who are exploring additional ways to train employees and communicate with clients.
