Paper Abstract:	In traditional “face to face” lessons, during the time the teacher writes on a black or white board, the students are always behind the teacher. Sometimes, this happens even in the recorded lesson in videos. Most of the time during the lesson, the teacher shows to the students his back not his face. We do not think the term “face to face” is the correct one in this case. The order in space: 1- the "knowledge" (black/white board); 2- the teacher; 3- the students, psychologically creates the idea to the student that the “knowledge” is so far away from him, beyond the teacher. We have changed this order in space to: 1- the teacher; 2- the “knowledge” (black/white board); 3- the students. So we have put the object to be studied between the teacher and the students. In this way we have set up a Real Face to Face process. Position of studied object between the teacher and the students makes the lessons much more attractive. During the time of the real lesson, it is recording in a video format using a cheap infrastructure and very simple to use by the teacher himself. The teacher is “all in one” person (screenwriter, actor, cameraman, director, audio & video editor, producer, distributor) of producing Virtual & Real Face to Face (VRFF) videos. The teacher writes on a transparent board which is between him and the students. The transparent writing board, in the same time, is an available big “transparent screen”. Power point slides or different graphics can be shown on this screen with the teacher behind it. During the real lesson some of the students stay in the teacher’s room the others are in classroom following the teacher via the big screen of a projector. Both category of students can see and ask the teacher any time being part of the produced video. The students can access the videos very easily via website of the university or in www.youtube.com. Technical details of this infrastructure and an experience of recording lessons generating the corresponding videos are in the presentation.
