The power of broadband internet has allowed for instant communication across the world, and opportunities for distance education have been greatly enhanced. In the spring of 2009, students from Peking University in Beijing, China, joined in with students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in synchronous discussion sessions for organic chemistry. In the fall of 2009, students from Lahore University of Management Sciences in Lahore, Pakistan, joined the synchronous discussions. Experiences during these semesters will be shared along with an outlook for the future.
