A study of organizational change process involving a complex communication technology was described using a naturalistic methodology defined by Lincoln and Guba (1985). Trends from the review of literature indicated that first time users of communication technology for classes have problems adjusting to increased demands.

Strategies for providing instructional experiences to compensate for distance and methods for establishing rapport outside the classroom were suggested. A case study format was designed to look into the process with the users in order to understand the obstacles from their perspective. Current and long-range solutions to the instructional problems or challenges were also explored.
