Video conferencing from classrooms and offices
Video conferencing can be done in any room that has a network data jack that would normally connect a computer to the internet. These portable devices utilize standard internet video protocols.
If you have a guest expert that you would like to speak to your class or a class at another institution you would like your class to interact with, this can be done in your regular classroom, contingent on the quality of the internet connection to the distant site and the equipment available at the other end.
Contact Nick Dvoracek (920-424-7363) to plan the appropriate arrangements for your application.
