Videoconferencing allows live two-way video and audio interaction between two or more "remote" sites. Sites could be people at home, schools, businesses, or organizations in the local area, somewhere in Michigan, or anywhere in the world. The conference could be point-to-point (one site connected to just one other site) or it could be multiple connections from a variety of videoconferencing hardware, Macs & PCs.
Distance Learning Rooms
Audio Visual Services supports three distance learning rooms which provide two-way interactive audio and video. Sessions can be streamed live or be recorded for on-demand viewing at a later time.
Faculty are encouraged to work with the Center for Teaching & Learning at 906-227-2483 for assistance in integrating videoconferencing with their teaching methods. For all other consultation, inquiries, and videoconferencing needs, please call Audio Visual Services at 906-227-2290.
