Institutions are currently seeking alternative ways to deliver a full-line of course materials without acquiring additional staffing. Hence, faculty is charged with creating alternative ways to deliver or offer course content to students. The purpose of this study was to evaluate undergraduate and graduate performance and perception of teleconferencing versus traditional blackboard lectures. In the undergraduate course, we discovered that students performed equally as well on exams and provided favorable reviews of the course; however, the acceptance of this new format is lacking given the enrollment and number of students dropping, e.g., 30 to 40% reduction in the course before semester's end. On the other hand, students taking the graduate course appear to accept the technology well with consistent enrollments and achievement in course content. In summary, using teleconferencing as a way to teach students may be better suited for graduate students when compared to undergraduates.
