Abstract
This paper discusses the growing application of Web-based instruction and examines real time streaming technology in educational settings. The steps required in the process of applying streaming technology in education are outlined, and available tools and the nature of the delivery platforms are identified. The prospects and challenges in introducing virtual learning environments to tertiary institutions are illustrated using two case studies. It will not be long to overcome the challenges confronting technology-based education in traditional teaching institutions.
