The virtual learning tools project requirement study, conducted fall 2009, suggests that distance learning will gradually move towards a more open sourced multimedia-oriented approach. Results show that modern distance learning solutions need to offer options for both synchronous and asynchronous communication, equally in actual teaching as well as student-to-student interaction. There are technical and financial challenges in providing modern distance learning solutions to Arctic residents: internet connection quality, equipment availability, financial strength, difference in time zones and language barriers emphasizing the importance of affordable and user-friendly Virtual Learning Tools.
