  17. Fruits and Challenges • OH trainees in 3 countries successfully connected real-time. • Satisfaction graded as 7.0/10. • Visual quality better in prior attempt, but overall evaluation higher in this attempt. Satisfaction of participants may have been effected by overall balance (> visual and audio quality) • Participants in Japan had opportunity to study beforehand using WebCT. • Opportunity to speak graded as “unsatisfactory.” WebCT could be utilized more during lecture to encourage active participation.
