Remote Collaboration Facilities

Many of the collaborative learning experiences we are conducting may be facilitated through the use of modern collaboration systems we have installed on both campuses. Recent technological developments have made it possible for audiences and speakers to engage in unencumbered, fully interactive conversations at different locations. Remote videoconferencing systems such as the Tandberg Educator allow speakers to address audiences both in their local setting as well as remotely and to field questions and reply to remote audiences with nearly equal ease as to local participants. Video and audio quality is as high as broadcast television. Cameras track speakers, eliminating the need for constant support staff while minimizing the artificial nature of video interactions. The establishment of industry standards for remote conferencing systems has opened up many new possibilities for such sessions. Our opportunities will expand as other consorts engage with these technologies (The Five Colleges of Ohio, Consortion of Liberal Arts Colleges).
