Video Conferencing

Video conferencing allows users to see and hear, and be seen and heard by, participants at off campus locations live via a video screen and audio monitor. This technology allows participation in forums, lectures, meetings and discussions which were formerly impossible due to time constraints, conflicting work schedules or budget limitations. It eliminates lodging and transportation costs, as well as unproductive travel hours, and allows greater flexibility in arranging meeting times. Using high-quality, compressed video and audio technology, video conferencing allows easy and effective long distance communication.

Using Video Conferencing To reserve a video conference room, or for more information, contact Sheryl Martin-Schultz by phone at 831-459-5790 or by e-mail.
