DEFINITION Video teleconferencing is a communication technology that permits users at two or more location to interact and system transmit bi-directional audio, video data streams during the session.

NEED OF VIDEO TELECONFERENCING IN EDUCATIONAL SETTING Insufficient numbers of available faculty Budget limitations Limited access to leave patient clinical placements Inconsistency and unpredictability of student clinical learning experiences in live clinical settings

COMPONENTS Cameras (to capture and send video from your local endpoint) Video displays (to display video received from remote endpoints) Microphones (to capture and send audio from your local endpoint) Speakers (to play audio received from remote endpoints)

TWO WAY VIDEO CONFERENCING Point-to-point Conferences A videoconference that connects two locations.Each site sees and hears the other sites at all times Multipoint Conferences Point-to-multipoint :A videoconference that connects to more than two sites through the use of a multi-point control unit, or MCU.Participants at all sites can hear one another at all times and see the site that is currently speaking.

VIDEO CONFERENCE IN EDUCATION Conceptualization Construction Dialogue

BENEFITS Closely resembles traditional classroom-based education; permits learners to be active participants in the process Faculty and staff needs can be met more quickly through just-in-time training More faculty and staff can be trained faster without increasing training resources It can make speciality care more accessible to underserved rural and urban populations. It eliminates expensive travel It makes the best use of limited time Guest lecturer is brought Into a class from another institution. Teleseminar

It allows genuine dialogue between all participants It allows immediate, full two way communication of content verbal pictorial objects It also open up new possibilities for continuing education or training for isolated rural health practitioners Faculty member keeps in touch with class while away for a week at a conference Distance technology can be used to facilitate statewide teaching and sharing the delivery of nursing learning resources.

LIMITATIONS The absence of QOS (Quality of Service) provides virtually no guarantee of a satisfying and successful experience Though the technology is improving, a successful videoconference is dependent upon the connections and technologies at all of the participating sites, AND the network infrastructure Security issues  

BARRIERS OF TECHNOLOGY IN LEARNING Transporting communication Interpersonal interactions Management problems Geographical set ups Technological and cost issues
