Video Conferencing and Education
Video conferencing technology is all the rage among
corporations. Recently educational facilities have begun taking
advantage of video conferencing technology to support learning
and education. Video conferencing equipment can help facilitate
instruction and provide distant learners with a host of
resources and access to content providers, teachers, librarians
and more.
More and more teachers are adopting video conferencing as a
method of enhanced communication and instruction. Many
California schools are using video conferencing to connect with
one another and produce networks carrying large volumes of video
and text data to educational facilities, teachers and students.
Other people that benefit from video conferencing technology
include librarians who can use video conferencing to develop
strategies, provide resources and improve the quality of their
service and delivery.
Video conferencing And Learning
Video conferencing facilitates learning by allowing remote or
distant learners to meet regardless of their location. Students
can take classes at multiple universities. In essence classes
that are not available at one location may be available at
another through video conferencing. Video conferencing can also
benefit non traditional students who are not able to attend
classes during normal hours.
Video conferencing can also be used as a career or employee
training tool. Many colleges are now collaborating with local
businesses to offer students certification and business
training. Expert subject matter delivered from individuals in
the field is easily delivered to students using this new
technology. Student can also take advantage of mentoring
services offered by companies in distant locations using video
conferencing technology. The possibilities are virtually
endless.
