This DVC classroom will supplement MTSU's existing compressed video distance learning classrooms. Compressed video will continue to be used at sites that enroll large classes of students. DVC classrooms will be designed to serve areas that consistently have low enrollment. Equipping low enrollment sites with individual DVC systems will be considerably less expensive than equipping those sites with room sized teleconferencing systems. With this product a teacher can send video, audio and data to unlimited numbers of students.
Students can respond to the teacher either by voice or keyboard.
Each student can choose to interact privately with the teacher or with the entire class. If The Presenter will make video conferencing affordable for small groups of scattered students it may be the tool that MTSU needs to reach more students at a distance. Other possibilities for using desktop video conferencings in asynchronous contact and for its incorporation with other technologies remain to be explored. MTSU will continue to lead the search for technology that will offer more students a learning experience that is not only convenient, but that holds all the benefits of a classroom experience.
