Increasingly, educational institutions are seeing the potential benefits that video conferencing systems, such as Emblaze-VCON Xpoint, Vpoint & EVCS offer them. It is not surprising, then, that more than half (53%) of schools plan to purchase video conferencing technology in the next year in the USA and growing in SA, according to a survey.
Educational institutions often tend to follow rather than lead the pack in regards to new technology. Consequently, it may be a bit surprising that many educational institutions have been busily trying to find ways to leverage video conferencing features to maximise use of their teachers' time, reach remote students, and interact with fellow institutions located abroad.
Time is a valued commodity, and academic institutions would like to maximise this resource for their faculties. Increasingly, video conferencing is emerging as a way to increase their productivity. Video conferencing is being used for virtual office hours, so teachers and students can interact whenever necessary. Teachers have also been recording and archiving lectures, presentations, and projects that can be shared with students at any time. The University of Pretoria, Fort Hare University & Tshwane University Of Technology are some of academic institutions taking advantage of this technology offered by Emblaze-VCON & Sony both brands distributed by Dynamic Communications.
In some cases, students in remote areas have trouble getting to class. The technology enables schools in Africa and beyond to broaden their curricula, providing students with access to high quality instruction and courses. Distance learning is a growing segment in education and Emblaze-VCON & Sony technologies allow this segment to really take advantage of this technology. This will not only increase availability of highly qualified tutors no matter where they are, but also allow for fully interactive learning experience by even connecting these video conferencing systems to educational interactive products such as the Hitachi range of interactive educational solutions. These interactive products combine Cambridge educational software with state of the art video conferencing solutions to really help the student understand the particular subject better than ever before. This technology will without a doubt increase SA's current pass rate.
Business has become a global entity, so students now need to share experiences with individuals living in other countries. Schools around the around the world use video conferencing to increase collaboration and gain a better understanding of life abroad.
