Abstract

This chapter analyzes the present situation of telecollaboration processes in synchronous online learning environments. The Web RTC protocol is presented as a new tool for online videoconferencing and telecollaboration that may potentially change the already in use applications for such purposes. In this vein, its characteristics such as P2P connectivity, open source protocol, no plugins installation, scalability, and accessibility guarantee that this technological development will help enhance the learning process at different levels. Higher institutions and practitioners will particularly benefit from the use of this technology as its use will increase cross-cultural knowledge as well as expand students' opportunities for out-of-class tuition.
