2. 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.

3. 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

4. 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)

5. 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.

11. 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

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