Don't know what has been done in the UK for linking remote classrooms. In the US, Boise State has a center to explore the use of technology in distance education. This center include a classroom with a one-way video connection to remote schools, and two-way phone connections which connect students from several remote locations for realtime classes and special events. <BR>
<BR>
The State of Alaska Dept of Education has also done quite a bit in this area.<BR>
<BR>
These are not low-tech methods, but there might be the possibility of using existing networks for virtual meetings. A search using the keywords "distance education" might turn up similar resources in the UK.<BR>
<BR>
Without technology, I think Harrison's plan is a good one.<BR>
