On this day, technical problems are delaying the start of the class. Boggess wants control of the camera in Vicksburg. The last class I missed some of you. As technicians work to fix the camera, as well as sound feedback problems, Boggess and her Starkville students carry on a lively banter with the Vicksburg group. Some of the Starkville students talk with their Vicksburg counterparts, asking how they are and discussing various issues.
Laughter comes from the off-campus site.
With the sound problem fixed, Boggess begins her lecture. On this day she will have to do without control of the Vicksburg camera. Such is life in the new age of compressed video education. Things will work much better as we get more familiar with the technology. Offering graduate classes off campus is nothing new to the College of Engineering.
